### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Well written, interesting and unique!
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2019*

We live in the south where poison ivy thrives.  Other than avoiding it at all cost, I never gave it much thought.  What originally peaked my interest a few years ago is that our mammoth donkey escaped the fence one night and ate an incredible amount of it from a huge vine growing nearby without any negative effects, not even a rash-covered, itchy mouth and nose.  An equine-expert friend said that she had seen some horses who occasionally sought it out to munch on and so assumed that it offered something they needed at the time.  I was curious but didn't easily find answers, so put it on the back burner until I saw this book.  Although I haven't read the entire book I have enjoyed it and look forward to reading more. It isn't like reading a textbook.  I did learn that Poison Ivy does have health benefits including relief from some of Lovey's (the donkey) issues.  The jacket is lovely, which may not be a huge selling point, but who doesn't appreciate a little extra beauty to go along with a new and interesting true story?

    Wonderful surprising book!
  

*by A***I on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2016*

This is not a basic description of this dreaded plant, but a series of fascinating stories about how poison ivy has worked its way into history, international culture, politics, and, of course, botany. I never thought I could be so interested in one plant -- especially one that can make people miserable! The author writes with solid research, wonderful storytelling, and a wicked sense of humor. I recommend this book for anyone interested in the outdoors, natural history, and plants -- but also for young people who are developing an appreciation of nature. 5 stars for sure.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2019*

I liked the background history of poison ivy as well as the ease of reading this book from an author with a since of humor.
