Description

Do plants really move? Absolutely! You might be surprised by all ways plants can move. Plants might not pick up their roots and walk away, but they definitely don't sit still! Discover the many ways plants (and their seeds) move. Whether it's a sunflower, a Venus flytrap, or an exotic plant like an exploding cucumber, this fascinating picture book shows just how excitingly active plants really are.

A fun informational read for kids about plants. Lots of great descriptive words and bright illustrations. Perfect for a read aloud where kids can stretch and creep just like the plants. Interesting and fun all in one book!
