[...]

"A Desert Habitat" is a charming book selection to accompany "Cactus Hotel"! Its beautiful close-up color photography lends reality to the water color illustrations of "Cactus Hotel". It portrays the sonoran desert animals that inhabit the desert along with their habitats. The text is clear and bold-very inviting to first and second grade readers. It is especially suited for vocabulary enrichment. My students enjoyed it as a read-aloud and as a resource book for drawings and reports. "A Desert Habitat" is a must-have read-aloud to accompany the Kendall-Hunt Pathways Theme book "Cactus Hotel"!

Summary: "Introducing Habitats"

These introducing habitats books work well in my classroom of kindergarten and first grade students. They are repetitive enough to help children learn new vocabulary and concepts while they are different enough to keep children interested and curious.
