Items related to I Wonder Why the Sahara is Cold at Night
Synopsis
Starting with the basic question of what a desert is, and proceeding through a wide variety of questions about the dry desert climate, desert animals, and the different ways humans use the desert, I Wonder Why the Sahara is Cold at Night is a great introduction to this important environment. The question and answer format gets young readers the information they want―like how rattlesnakes kill their prey―while opening up the opportunity for further discussion. The humorous illustrations, child-friendly text, and open-anywhere format make this series a great choice for reluctant readers.

From Booklist
Each book in the I Wonder Why . . . series offers an eclectic overview of its subject based largely on examples rather than narrative. Using a question-and-answer format, these charming books encourage readers to meander through all sorts of fascinating tidbits about people and places, piracy, deserts, and inventions. I Wonder Why the Sahara Is Cold at Night starts by supplying locations and geographical characteristics of deserts and then moves on to how plants, animals, and humans live there—including descriptions of people’s homes, races, and use of resources. No matter what the subject, the variety of illustrations, both serious and cartoonish, helps keep the books’ pages lively and colorful. Grades K-3. --Miriam Aronin
