Rock? Plant? Animal?

Rock? Plant? Animal?: How Nature Keeps Us Guessing

@ Amazon | Bookshop

Booktalk: Can you tell the difference between a rock, a plant, and an animal? While it might sound simple, the vast diversity of life on earth can throw us some serious curveballs! Sometimes, what looks like a plant is actually an animal. Other times, what looks like an animal is actually a plant! Even things that look like living creatures can turn out to be unique rocks.

Each spread features a realistic illustration of either a puzzling critter, a perplexing plant, or a special stone. Every picture is accompanied by a simple prompt: rock, plant, or animal? The answer is revealed by turning the page to discover a beautifully detailed scene and a brief description of the “species.”

Snippet: For the cover image, it says:
If you do come across it, don’t get too close. It won’t bite, but it does smell like poop!
