This book begins by explaining the characteristics of the desert and where they are located. The book then focusses on animals found in three deserts- the Kalahari Desert, the Tanami Desert, and the Mojave Desert. Each animal has a two page spread dedicated to them. The information provided for each animals includes a two sentence blurb about the animal, an image of their lifecycle with descriptions of each stage, and fun facts. At the end of each desert section, a food web is given. The book also includes a glossary.
This book would be a good addition to a unit focused on ecosystems, as it shows life cycles, predators and prey, as well as food webs for students to examine.
