4.0 out of 5 stars Plant A book review, January 5, 2006

By	A. Carlson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Plant (DK Eyewitness Books) (Hardcover)

The Most interesting thing was that when butterflies are sleeping their proboscus is tucked under their head. The most surprising thing in the book was that rose hips have ten to one hundred times the vitamin C than any other food. Plants is an excellent book. It told alot of interesting information. Anyone would like to read it, for a report or just for fun.

Good introduction to plants for all those of reading age. Also a good review for those who studied botany too long ago!
