The World’s Biggest, Baddest, and Smelliest Plants
Written by Ann McCallum Staats, Illustrated by Zoë Ingram
Great nonfiction book about the world’s biggest, baddest, and smelliest plants. They have this book broken into chapters and it is packed with information. Great pictures. I think it will really pull the students in. For example, the first plant is so big it can hold a human. A lot of these plants I have never heard of. It has highlighted vocabulary words with great definitions. Kids will love this book.
