Creatures of the Desert World
A Naional Geographic Action Book
Publisher: National Geographic Society
From our Purveyor of Books:
This delightful Pop-Up book takes the reader through a late spring day in Arizona's Sonoran Desert. Experience the early morning sun and the activities of mountain lion cubs, a lizard and flying kestrel. Next scene introduces the roadrunner, rattlesnake, badger, and coyote - all looking for breakfast. At high noon we meet a kit fox, peccaries, quail, and two hawks. Afternoon heat slows desert activities down for some, but not the activities of the tortoise or jackrabbit. The setting sun cools the desert off quickly and night animals come to life - meet the tarantula, Gila monster, skunch and a singing wren. Finally, a full moon lights up the desert night and invites of the residents to come out and play...or hunt.
The paper engineering is outstanding as are the lavish illustrations.
Hardcover. 16 pages. Ages 4-8.
