Customer Reviews

You will learn so much

You will learn a lot about the animals that live in the desert. Very educational and interesting. Love it!

Great book!

The grandkids loved the book. They live in Tucson and see the Saguaros every day!

Very educational

This book is very educational to use in a classroom or an education focused day camp and is not an easy read as a story book at bedtime.

This book was full of wonderful pictures and information

I have used this book every year as a third grade teacher. It is wonderful as a read aloud for science to illustrate how animals and plants adapt to their environment and rely on other plants and animals for survival. This is one of the best books I have ever read to my class because it is not dull science jargon but presented as the story of the life of the cactus. Don't miss this one for teaching and learning about life science in the desert.

Our third grade class loved your book.

Our third grade loved your book. It gave us a lot of information about the desert. The illustrations were excellent. We especilly liked the use of author techniques such as diagrams, onomatopeias, catchy title and colorful illustrations. We would love to contact Barbara Bash.
