A saguaro cactus
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book contains so much more than the title would suggest. It tells not only of the cactus itself but also of the desert life that surrounds it and uses it. There are photographs and sketches of the desert animals as well as "side bars" with interesting information about desert life. Also included are suggested activities for using the new knowledge about desert life.
