About Habitats: Deserts

In the first book in the acclaimed About Habitats... series, educator and author Cathryn Sill uses simple, easy-to-understand language to teach children what deserts are and what kinds of animals and plants live there. John Sill s beautifully detailed paintings reflect the diversity of deserts, from the vast dunes of the Arabian Desert to the rocky Chihuahuan Desert in the southwestern U. S. An afterword provides details on deserts and about the flora and fauna featured in the illustrations.
