"Desert Climates stands out because it highlights specific deserts around the globe. The format is engaging and interesting and the text is split up into small, readable sections. There are numerous boxes with “Amazing Facts” and “Did you Know?” tidbits as well as fun uses of arrows to highlight photos of people, animals, industry, and terrain. I could see fourth to sixth grade teachers utilizing this book for an integrated project within an elementary classroom or teachers of mixed grade levels enjoying this resource. . . .I would recommend this book due to its kid–friendly layout and design, integration possibilities, as well as the potential for use in numerous areas of science study." - NSTA Recommends
