Title: What makes a plant "strange"?
Review: Overall, Angela Royston's "Strange Plants" is a good educational children's book. It combines a simple text with full-color photographs that are rich in fascinating details. The plants covered include mangrove trees, banyan trees, baobab trees, saguaro cactus, mistletoe, and more.My only problem with the book is the title. It seems a bit narrow-minded to arbitrarily designate some plants as "strange." I'm sure lichen (which is depicted in the book) is not considered strange by someone who lives in a region with lots of lichen. That gripe aside, this is a worthwhile book.
