Arizona - Southeast

How do animals and plants survive in the desert? All about roadrunners, spiny cactus, tiny hummingbirds, prairie dogs, digger bees, jackrabbits (which can go 40mph), stinky creosote bush, and more. (Illustrated chapter book)

A saguaro cactus seed sprouts under a palo verde tree. After fifty years, the cactus blooms and produces fruit, which a woodpecker comes to eat. The woodpecker makes a nest inside the cactus, and soon other birds and animals come to live in holes, a cactus hotel. (Picture book)

After the sun goes down, the desert fills with songs – the wind whispers, bats fly out, an owl hoots, coyote sings to the moon, a snake leaves a trail in the sand, with no sound. Exquiste collage illustrations! (Picture book)
