Marvelous book for a child
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I just loved Here is the Southwestern Desert, but what's more important is that my twenty-one month old daughter can't get enough of it. We read it to her at least once a day, because if we don't she protests quite audibly. The story is simple and insightful, and the art is just amazing. There are so many things that she picks out of each painting. She loves the animals and flowers. All the desert flora and fauna in the book are represented in a way that she can truly enjoy.
