PreS-K–Despite a fictional surround, this is an introduction to early facts about deserts and how they grow. A plush round cactus with a blossom on her head wakes up and invites readers to explore her desert environment. Readers will learn about the flora, fauna, and climate of the desert. The cactus herself is quite adorable.

VERDICT Little hands will be drawn to the cactus and enjoy spending time with her. Recommended.
