Deserts--hot and dry. Developing readers learn about the weather, plants, and animals of a desert in this low-level Spanish search-and-find beginning reader. Careful, this isn't the beach. There may be lots of sand, but there's a lot less water among the vast sand dunes. That's why the plants and animals store water and nutrients for a long time. Early readers will discover camels, rattlesnakes, and more that make their home in the desert ecosystem. A search-and-find feature reinforces new vocabulary like cacti and sand dunes, while close-up images captivate young audiences. A great early STEM book to inspire learning about biomes for kindergartners and first graders.
