Saguaro Moon: A Desert Journal

(4) K-3 Sharing Nature with Children series. Megan's family has just moved to the Arizona desert, where she keeps a journal of the new knowledge she learns from observing the plant and animal life of her surroundings. Colorful and creative full-page paintings and collages and interesting bordered fact-bytes overshadow the stilted, didactic journal entries. The book ends with "So What Can I Do?" activities directing readers to a few books and a couple of websites.
