Pretty Tricky: the sneaky ways plants survive by Etta Kaner and Ashley Barron - ESSENTIAL

Pretty Tricky: the sneaky ways plants survive by Etta Kaner, illustrated by Ashley Barron. NON-FICTION PICTURE BOOKS. Owl Kids, 2020. $20. 9781771473699 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Kaner and Barron have crafted a beautiful collaboration celebrating a variety of plants that use a variety of methods to survive, thrive, and procreate. Each bright illustration is accompanied by a few paragraphs – enough to share with interested students or for a budding botanist. I would even love to buy a couple of copies of the book and -- after getting permission from the publisher – separating the pages to create a set of study pages to share out with a class and have them gather info to share with the rest of the class.
