Bloodthirsty Plants

In looking through some newly donated Botany books, I just found the best-ever series for kids who want cool creepy science books (like Zombie Makers: True Stories of Nature's Undead by Rebecca Johnson). This set of 6 Botany books is called Bloodthirsty Plants. Here are the titles in the series:

Bladderworts: Trapdoors to Oblivion

Butterworts: Greasy Cups of Death

Carnivorous Mushrooms: Lassoing Their Prey?

Pitcher Plants: Slippery Pits of No Escape

Sundews: A Sweet and Sticky Death

Venus Fly Traps and Waterwheels: Spring Traps of the Plant World

There is also a chapter about Pitcher Plants in The Burgess Book of Nature Lore: Adventures of Tommy, Sue and Sammy with Their Friends of Meadow, Pool, and Forest by Thornton W. Burgess (my favorite book he wrote). It is chapter 3, "Tommy's Insect Soup."
