<+@><:#1425,9360><+!>5.  Summary:  <-!>This is a beautiful picture book that uses each of the letters from the alphabet to tell an interesting fact about something from the desert.  It includes plants, animals and landforms.  It is written in a format which is easy to under
stand that is both entertaining and informational.  Most of the facts that it talks about are things that are very unusual that most people are unaware of.  It tells about ways that plants and animals have adapted to extreme heat and a dry climate.  

<+@><:s><:#284,9360>

<+@><:s><:#1425,9360><+!>6.  Social Studies Relevance<-!><+!>:  <-!>This book deals mostly with geography.  It could be used to further learning because it tells about how things must adapt to survive in a region that receives less than 10% rainfall per year.  Students could be
gin to use map skills, and identify similarities and differences from the environment in which they live. This book could help students learn about different ways of life in a different region of the world.
