In Biome Beasts: Desert Animals, readers will discover how desert animals survive and thrive in the driest places on the planet. Photos, text, and sidebars describe how these animals adapt to the challenging climate of these regions. Earth's four desert biomes – hot, semiarid, coastal, and cold – each have their own set of challenges for the living things within them. The Biome Beasts series is NGSS-aligned and packed with interesting facts and vivid photos that introduce readers to a variety of land and water animals. Each book includes a glossary, comprehension questions, and an activity for home or the classroom.
