[.uk] Desert Giant: The World of the Saguaro Cactus (Bash, ... (ISBN 1578050855)

Our third grade class loved your book.:
Our third grade loved your book. It gave us a lot of information about the desert. The illustrations were excellent. We especilly liked the use of author techniques such as diagrams, onomatopeias, catchy title and colorful illustrations. We would love to contact Barbara Bash.

Not your ordinary desert book:
We have been reading many different desert books for a unit study. It seemed that we kept running across the same old information in every book. Then we read this one! It tells you things that you just don't find in other books. This turned out to be our favorite book. The pictures are wonderful and it is easily understandable by young children, thought adults will learn a thing or two as well! Highly recommended.

Very educational:
This book is very educational to use in a classroom or an education focused day camp and is not an easy read as a story book at bedtime.

This book was full of wonderful pictures and information:
I have used this book every year as a third grade teacher. It is wonderful as a read aloud for science to illustrate how animals and plants adapt to their environment and rely on other plants and animals for survival. This is one of the best books I have ever read to my class because it is not dull science jargon but presented as the story of the life of the cactus. Don't miss this one for teaching and learning about life science in the desert.

Great book!:
The grandkids loved the book. They live in Tucson and see the Saguaros every day!
