There are six North American deserts. They include, the Mojave, Sonoran, Great Basin, Chihuahuan, Painted, and Death Valley. Deserts are fragile ecosystems. The animals and plants that live there have adapted to withstand the heat and low moisture. These animals and plants are interconnected and need each other. If one species dies, it affects the ecosystem forever. We can make a difference by conserving water, decreasing our light pollution, limiting use of recreational vehicles, and reducing energy use.
The author divided the book into three main topics for each desert which she illustrated. They are: daytime desert animals, nighttime desert animals, and fun facts about animals in each desert. The illustrations are highly detailed with a "find the animal" list at the bottom of each page. Munro has keys to the lists at the back of the book. She also lists organizations that help to protect these wild desert areas.
