Details: In this new and updated edition, learn everything you need to know about one of the toughest environments on Earth, from #1 science writer for kids Gail Gibbons.
Deserts cover about one-fifth of the land on Earth and receive very little rain. However, these hot, sandy, and rocky landscapes are filled with the most unique and adaptable plants and animals. Discover everything about this mysterious and beautiful biome in this updated introduction to deserts.
Learn about the different types of terrain found in deserts from dunes to mesas. With accessible diagrams, learn how succulents and other plants survive such a dry, hot climate. Meet the birds, critters, and creepy crawlies that call the desert home. Clearly labeled watercolor illustrations introduce young readers to dozens of desert dwellers from the western diamondback rattlesnake to the road runner to the camel.
