Review by Booklist Review

Don't be fooled by the title. Rather than compiling bizarre plant life, this book in the True Book: Incredible Plants! series (6 titles) is actually a concise overview of the plant kingdom's history and primary plant types. It begins with the theory that ancient algae (a protist) gave rise to modern plants, which have evolved unique characteristics to adapt to different environments and to reproduce. Seedless (e.g., mosses and ferns) and flowering plants are aptly differentiated, and trees receive an entire chapter explicating their deciduous and evergreen varieties. Fascinating facts abound, often in captions; pollination is fruitfully discussed; and plant posers are unmasked get out of here, mushrooms! Vibrant photos and diagrams provide excellent support for the text, and a final activity on color change in leaves adds a hands-on learning opportunity.--Julia Smith Copyright 2010 Booklist
