Different kinds of cactus provide food, moisture, and shelter
to a wide variety of plants and animals. A Saguaro Cactus tells young readers what animals make their home high above, on
the ground, and deep below the cacti of the Sonoran Desert in
the United States and Mexico. A special section shows children how to create their own miniature desert.
Fantastic fact boxes give information about:
• deserts around the world
• plants that live in arid climates
• how certain animals are able to survive in climates with a limited amount of water
