Author Donna Latham presents a short 8 chapter, 27 page run down on deserts – “the most arid biome”. The page lay-outs help the reader move from the generalities of the  text to specifics of captioned inset photos and “Do You Know?” factoids. The vibrant colors in the photos with the accompanying text grab the readers attention and will inspire him to read the entire book in one sitting. Includes: plant and animal adaptations, environmental threats and biodiversity risks.

The proofreader missing one word – on page 21, damanged, should be damaged.

Excellent glossary
