Summary:
"Plants can't move away from hungry animals looking for a tasty treat. So, some plants grow pointy prickles, sharp spines, or threatening thorns to keep themselves safe. One poke from these plants tells unwanted visitors to eat somewhere else! Engaging photos and lively text bring an exciting look at the world of plants"-- Provided by publisher.
