Over on the Desert: Somewhere in the World

By Marianne Berkes

Book Overview

Learning becomes fun with this counting book about the desert habitat. Kids and parents will appreciate its amazing artwork and be inspired to learn about and appreciate the world around us

Deserts are full of surprises An amazing array of animals calls this driest place on Earth their home. Through rhythm and rhyme, children meet a new animal on every page. They won't be able to resist getting in on all the action as animal parents teach their babies how to live in this unusual habitat--camels kneel, armadillos dig, dingoes sniff, and jerboas jump. Cut paper collages capture the subtle beauty of the desert and also "hide" more animals for young eyes to find. One part song, one part story, and one part sheer delight
