[Ashley · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book would make a great read aloud in an early childhood science lesson or a read alone in an early elementary class. It contains excellent photographs.

Awesome photography complements this nonfiction book for grades K-2. Great for research on desert animals and reptiles.
