Description
This book provides an overview of the physical and environmental features of the world's many unique deserts.
Quick Summary
Kids who are fascinated by the way camels survive without water or why sand dunes shift will find plenty to love in this fast-paced tour of deserts around the world, and at only 1 AR point it's a quick, manageable read for early readers. It's written at a level that's perfect for kids who can handle a little more complexity, while the bright photos and bite-size facts keep even the most reluctant reader turning pages. Each desert gets its own short section, complete with a map snippet and a few "Did you know?" tidbits, so the book never feels like a textbook, just a colorful adventure. Parents will appreciate that there's no scary content just a gentle look at harsh environments and the clever creatures that call them home. If your child also enjoys the simple, picture-driven approach of the "National Geographic Kids Everything" series, this one will feel right at home.
