You might think of plants as the green silent type. But new discoveries are turning that idea upside down.

Science shows that plants can sense—and make their own—sounds! Plants also communicate in other surprising ways. Flip open this book and get ready to be a-MAIZE-d!

Did you know that some plants make noises when they’re stressed? Others can “hear” caterpillars munching on their leaves or bees buzzing nearby!

This book takes young readers on a fascinating–and giggle-inducing–journey into the new and exciting world of plant communication. Along the way, they’ll get to know experts in the field, learn some cutting-edge science, and conduct their own “talking plant” experiment.
