This book had a lot of great information about deserts. It included what deserts are, where they are located, what types of plants are there, and many other facts. I think this would be a good book for older elementary students. I might read parts of this book to the students before we discuss deserts.

I thought that this book provided ample information, and it was well organized. I liked how the book discussed the animals and people that reside in the deserts. Another thing I appreciated was the photography in the book. The pictures were large, but there was also a few illustrations thrown in. Overall, I like this book as an informational source for students.
