These stunning photographic information books picture nature in extraordinary close-up and with an intimacy unrivaled by other wildlife books - Each title features magnificently detailed, larger-than-life photographs on each spread - will enthrall any child who has ever wondered how a butterfly wing looks to another butterfly or how a spider sees its own web - Text and annotations give a real sense of where each plant or creature lives, how it eats, breeds, survives, and adapts to its particular habitat - Color artworks show the scale of the animal or plant; a glossary defines the meanings of unfamiliar words.

Examines the variety of life found in the desert, including the Greek tortoise, desert scorpion, and jewel wasp.
