Deserts (Where on Earth? World Geography)

Correlated to both the social studies and science curriculum, this series combines a strong emphasis on map skills with a wealth of age-appropriate information for young readers about habitats around the world. Clear text describes each geographical feature, how it formed, and the type of animal and plant life it supports. Three maps in each volume indicate where on earth the habitats can be found and introduce students to such basic map features as symbols, legends, and the compass rose.
