Silent, hungry killers lurk all over the world. Few would suspect, by looking at them, that they are waiting to ambush their next meal. These hungry hunters are not animals. They are plants. This book looks at how plants become predators; how they lure, capture and kill prey; and how some creatures, especially man, pose a threat to their existence.

"Report writers (will) come away much more informed. Each volume in this new series is a well-written, well-organized, thorough look at how a creature hunts, catches, and devours its food, which, as it happens, encompasses a lot of natural history territory. The series format is attractive: slightly enlarged type, clear paragraph headings allow for quick access, and many illustrations. The content is excellent, and kids will come away not only more knowlegeable but also more respectful of the other animals that share our planet."
-- Booklist (October 2001) (Booklist 20011015)
