Hoot and Howl Across the Desert

Hoot and Howl Across the Desert is a colorful and fun book. There are over fifty pages of information on animals that live in the deserts around the world. First, you learn the definition of a desert. Next, you learn about animals and plants that live in the deserts and about the environment. Some deserts are hot, while some are cold, so the animals and plants will be different in each desert. The information about everything is found beside, under, or above each picture on the pages. The illustrations of the animals and plants are pretty, colorful, and usually have a pattern on them.

I feel like I learned a lot from being read this book because it has a lot of information given in it. It did take me a couple of sittings to get through the book, mainly because there is a lot to read in it. I enjoyed looking at the pictures because of their patterns and designs. I knew about some of them already, but not about them all. I think kids a little older than me (maybe at least aged eight) will enjoy it more because it doesn’t have much of a story, but mainly facts.
