Description
Publisher's Description of Destination Desert (Biome Explorers)
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.
Category Description for Biome Explorers
Take a tour across each of the major biomes! Each book highlights one biome with a plethora of illustrations and details regarding plant life, wildlife, weather patterns, seasons, and more. Covering several types of each biome, these books provide comprehensive overviews but are not in-depth studies. Colorful pictures take up most of the space, with medium-sized text and fact boxes focusing on key elements. At the end of each book is a short activity and a glossary. Books do discuss climate change and its effect on each specific biome.
