Slather on the sunscreen and get ready to journey to the desert biomes
of the world in this nonfiction picture book!
In
Destination Desert: Biome Explorers, kid scientists make the trek to
four different types of deserts around the world--a hot and dry desert,
a semi-arid desert, a coastal desert, and a cold desert. In each place,
explorers discover the adaptations plants and animals such as cacti,
shrubs, camels, ibex, and lizards have made to survive in these dry
places! Plus, find out what humans can do to keep deserts from taking
over too much of the land.
Scientifically accurate illustrations, photographs, fascinating facts,
and a hands-on activity are all part of the opportunity for deeper
learning about biomes. An introductory poem and glossary encourage
language arts connections. Perfect as a real aloud or for beginning
readers.
Destination Desert: Biome Explorers is part of a set of five books in

Planet Earth. Other titles in this series include Grassland
Globetrotting: Biome Explorers; Aquatic Adventures: Biome Explorers;
