Describes the desert habitat of Death Valley and the plants and animals that live there.
Using a limited vocabulary and a large-print, easy-to-read format, Levinson maintains reader interest with a detailed description of Death Valley. Part of the nonfiction "Holiday House Reader" series, this title tells of the plants and the creatures that manage to survive the intense heat and dryness of the valley. Hearn's muted color, double-page scenes depict the various animals and plants in their habitats. Frequently they are labeled in small, lower-case letters. Although we know that her descriptions are really more peaceful than factual, it is informative to blend the features of this arid landscape with the surprisingly large number of native inhabitants. The interpretive use of color to express mood and the studied placement of animals, rocks and cactus make the visuals attractive without detracting significantly from the natural history. Added facts about Death Valley and identified silhouettes of the individual flora and fauna complete this useful volume. 2001, Holiday House, $14.95. Ages 6 to 9. Reviewer: Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz
