In The Big Book of Blooms, the next instalment in the wildly successful Big Book series, Yuval Zommer's charming illustrations bring to life some of the most colourful, flamboyant, and unusual flowers from across the globe. In the opening pages, readers will learn all about botany, including how to recognize different types of flowers. Subsequent pages illustrate the various habitats that are home to flora such as pitcher plants, the giant water lily, and the weirdly wonderful corpse flower. Readers will discover which flowers are endangered and why some blooms are fragrant or colourful, not to mention grisly details about carnivorous and poisonous flowers.
