Reviews

Gr. 4^-8. Tweit's eclectic collection of natural-history facts and trivia provides a fascinating look at the American Southwest. Topics ranging from geology and climate to rock art and love bites (spiders) are introduced in illustrated double-page spreads that offer a narrative overview, pen-and-ink drawings, and numerous sidebars containing specialized information. Generous appendixes provide lists of museums and cultural centers; a bibliography; checklists of plants, animals, natural features, and important places; a glossary; and an index. Although the text may be too scattered to satisfy report writers, it has plenty of browser appeal and will be especially useful for families planning hikes or nature walks in the Southwest.
