A Desert Food Web
by Cari Meister (Author) and Howard Gray (Illustrator)
Booktalk: A cactus soaks up some sun. A squirrel dashes across the sand. A rattlesnake stalks its next meal. Life in the desert is never boring as animals and plants try to survive in the hot and dry climate.
Snippet: Dusk comes to the desert. Animals that have spent the hot day sleeping are now waking.
