I loved this book because I did not know a lot about desert vegetation until I read this. Because it is written as a narrative, students can actively engage while learning the information.

Okay, I realize this book was published in 1991, but I have to point out a HUGE mistake. The bats drawn supposedly coming for the nectar of the saguaro flowers are free-tailed bats, which are insectivorous. Nectar-eating bats have a quite different appearance. Seems like it would have been pretty easy to find out.

We read aloud about 4 picture books about cactus recently and this one stood out as a real winner for our whole family. We love saguaro cactus but I didn’t know much about this unique plant... (to be honest, I wasn’t exactly curious). I am so glad we picked this one up to read as a family. The information and illustrations are just a perfect combination.

Good little book with great illustrations. I use it when my 2nd and 3rd grade class is studying the desert biome.

This book caught my kids' attention better than any other book about deserts, out of the half dozen that we read during that unit. They still refer to it. I can't think of any better recommendation than that.
