What's Over on a Desert About

Publisher Summary

Learning becomes fun with this counting book about the desert habitat. Kids and parents will appreciate its amazing artwork and be inspired to learn about and appreciate the world around us!Deserts are full of surprises! An amazing array of animals calls this driest place on Earth their home. Through rhythm and rhyme, children meet a new animal on every page. They won’t be able to resist getting in on all the action as animal parents teach their babies how to live in this unusual habitat–camels kneel, armadillos dig, dingoes sniff, and jerboas jump. Cut paper collages capture the subtle beauty of the desert and also “hide” more animals for young eyes to find. One part song, one part story, and one part sheer delight!Backmatter Includes: Further information about the animals in the book!Music and song lyrics to “Over on a Desert” sung to the tune “Over in the Meadow”.
