Plant Myths & Misconceptions is a cute, full-color photo collection full of plant info collected by Kizzi Roberts and Carrie Rodell as part of their Fact Checkers series. Released 26th March 2026, it's 32 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats. For Kindle Unlimited subscribers, this book is currently included in the KU subscription library to borrow and read for free.
This is a fun, vibrant, and accessible collection of cool facts for ~7-12 year old readers. It's written in a question/answer style with 2 page fully photographed plant macro shots and text in highlighted text boxes throughout.
Lots of cool scientifically correct info and questions such as "do flowers always smell nice?" (No! sometimes they smell awful to attract carrion eater pollinators) and "do bananas grow on trees?" (Nope! Banana "trees" are actually non-woody plants, more like herbs). The authors/publisher have also included a short glossary at the end with terms used in the text. It doesn't include an index (but it's a very short book).
Four and a half stars. This would be an excellent choice for public or classroom library acquisition. It would also make a good gift for a young friend or for home library.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
