Een erg leuk en informatief boek over planten en wat zij doen om te overleven. Van hoe ze dieren vangen tot bestuiving en zorgen dat de soort verder leeft. Ze hebben allerlei geweldige manier van geurtjes (stank tot lekker) tot zaadjes die lijken op poep tot blaadjes die opkrullen als er iemand aanzit. Echt leuk geschreven, informatief, en de illustraties waren prachtig! Ik heb echt genoten van dit mooie boek~

Pretty Tricky - The Sneaky Ways Plants Survive presents the unusual adaptations that plants use to survive. The book itself is also unique in that instead of photographs, Pretty Tricky - The Sneaky Ways Plants Survive uses paper cut-outs to illustrate the different plants described in the book. The book is divided into three sections; highlighting plant defences, making additional plants and a food section. There are single and double-page spreads that include large colourful illustrations, the name of the plant and where one can find it. What makes this book stand out are the unusual plants included; from plants that kidnap bugs to plants that act as a toilet, readers, including adults, will learn something new from this book.

Bold collage illustrations bring these fascinating plants alive. Readers will discover some old hats here (Venus flytraps and carrion flower, for example), but there are plenty of entrancing plants here I'd never seen in a picture book.

I love plants, so it was a natural pick to grab this book. Especially since it's a sweet, non-fiction picture book!
The information is presented in a very informative yet interesting way. I was hooked to every word and was honestly interested. I think this book would be a great way for educators or parents to read to their children and use a non-fiction book in the process. It's absolutely great for learning.
Kids can learn how plants defend themselves, where certain plants naturally grow, and plant reproduction, among other cool topics!
The illustrations are super cool - especially the Venus fly trap. It stood out to me instantly and pulled my attention in. They have a cool cut paper textile that makes it super intriguing and attention grabbing.
Overall, I really liked this book! It's informative, and as someone with a green thumb I found it super interesting!
Four out of five stars.

Short documentary for children that is poorly presented. I never really like documentary on something that could have been present with real picture and which is presented with illustrations, and some very basic one here. Not really worth it.
