Abstract

A cabbage whose leaves have been eaten by insects calls bees that eat the insects, a plant travels when trampled by a lion, and there are plants that never lose their leaves. If you take a look at the strategies of such plants, you will be drawn in by a lot of interesting information. This book introduces the survival strategies of plants that even adults don't know about, in a fun way, with photos, illustrations, and manga.
