About this title

Review:

In this entertaining introduction to the flora and fauna of the desert, based on the cumulative structure of "The House That Jack Built," a pack rat accompanied by a host of other desert creatures disperses saguaro cactus seeds. Bright illustrations convey the vibrant heat and striking colors of the desert. A list of facts and an overview of saguaro cactuses accompany the text.
