內容簡介
This book offers readers a bug’s-eye view into the strange and fascinating world of carnivorous plants. From the “jaws” of the Venus flytrap to the pretty sundew plant whose delicate tentacles entrap its prey, the unique anatomy and behaviors of meat-eating plants are detailed with clear, engaging text and art.

精彩書評
"This Level 4 entry in the "Step into Reading" series includes six chapters (no table of contents, however) with such eye-catching titles as "Slurp!," "Gotcha!," and "Sticky Fingers." Named carnivorous plants include the Venus Flytrap, and representatives of the aquatic bladderwort, pitcher plant, and sundew families. Each chapter discusses facets of these mostly insect-eating plants, how they attract, hold, and digest their hapless prey. Pictures show a variety of plants within the family and support the text with illustrations of habitat and specific insects or other animals found nearby. A mention of Charles Darwin tells how he studied sundew touch and sense of taste for twenty years before he wrote a book on the subject. No index but there's enough information here to help young report writers, or less able older ones, discuss the hows and whys of carnivorous plants as well as interest the casual browser in this fascinating botanical topic."

對於坎坷麯摺的人生道路而言,讀書便是最佳的潤滑劑。麵對苦難,我們苦悶、彷徨、悲傷、絕望,甚至我們低下瞭曾經高貴驕傲的頭。然而我們可否想到過書籍可以給予我們希望和勇氣,將慰藉緩緩注入我們乾枯的心田,使黑暗的天空再現光芒?讀羅曼?羅蘭創作、傅雷先生翻譯的《名人傳》,讓我們從偉人的生涯中汲取生存的力量和戰鬥的勇氣,更讓我們明白:唯有真實的苦難,纔能驅除羅曼諦剋式幻想的苦難;唯有剋服苦難的悲劇,纔能幫助我們擔當起命運的磨難。讀海倫?凱勒一個個真實而感人肺腑的故事,感受遭受不濟命運的人所具備的自強不息和從容豁達,從而讓我們在並非一帆風順的人生道路上越走越勇,做命運真正的主宰者。在書籍的帶領下,我們不斷磨煉自己的意誌,而我們的心靈也將漸漸充實成熟。
