Native plants surround us every day, so it's easy to take them for granted. But they are vital to the existence of all animals—including humans! Native plants provide sources for food and shelter that wildlife can't live without. Become a young botanist. Learn all about native plants, wildflowers, trees, and shrubs. Professional entomologist Jaret C. Daniels presents a kids' introduction to botany. From beautiful wildflowers like the common sunflower to majestic trees like the red maple, this easy-to-understand book is a perfect guide for beginners.
Pollinators & Native Plants for Kids begins with an introduction to plants. Then it guides readers through the process of pollination, spotlighting the essential role that bees, butterflies, and other pollinators play. The book further discusses why native plants are important to a healthy ecosystem and outlines how children and families can take action to help them. In the field-guide section, 150 wildflowers, trees, and shrubs are organized by type. Full-color photographs and visual descriptions help readers to identify the species they see in nature.
