       But after reading this book, you might think differently. 
       In this latest non-fiction book by the award-winning 
       author Etta Kaner, readers are introduced to variety of 
       plants from around the world that use trickery to survive 
       and thrive. From the shape-changing Boquila vine that 
       avoids the threat of being eaten by blending in with its 
       host plant; to the pungent (to humans) Carrion flower that
       uses a rotten meat smell to lure the flies that play an 
       important role in its pollination; to the large Nepenthes 
       rajah, a pitcher plant that fools tree shrews into using 
       it as a toilet as a way of acquiring the much-needed 
       nutrients from their waste, Pretty Tricky is a fascinating
       guide to some of the most interesting, unusual, and often 
       sneaky plants. Clearly written in easy-to-absorb short 
       blocks of text (any scientific language is defined within 
       the text), the book is organized into three main sections 
       that cover the many amazing adaptations plants use to 
       defend themselves, to reproduce, and to acquire food. Each
       spread includes a fact bubble that identifies where the 
       focus plants grow in the world. End matter includes 
       additional explanations about how plants make seeds and 
       how plants make food. An index is also included. Ashley 
       Barron's gorgeous, detailed, and dimensional illustrations
       give every spread a dynamic feel, often as though the 
       illustrations themselves are growing right out of the 
       pages of the book."--|cProvided by publisher.
