From the Publisher:
A Desert Adventure with Sounds and Pop-Ups by Maurice Pledger.
Prepare to visit some of the hottest places on earth.
As you trek across the sandy plain of the American Southwest to explore the pop-up panoramas, you'll hear roar of a mountain lion, the croaking of a toad, and the hungry squawk of a Harris's hawk.
Ready to explore?
The sounds of the wild are calling!
From the Grand Canyon of Arizona to Death Valley in California, the desert is a remarkable place.
Though some may imagine this habitat as desolate, uninhabited, and eerily quiet, the truth is that many animals make their homes in these arid lands--and they make quite a bit of noise!
Kids can meet these creatures in Sounds of the Wild: Desert.
There�s Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, which is known for its stunning scenery and large diversity of birds, such as the bluebird, robin, and swallow, and their songs.
In Petrified Forest National Park, kids can hear the clicks and whistles of bats, the bleats of toads, and the bark of the pronghorn, the fastest land animal in North America.
And in the Rio Grande Basin, it�s the squawk and screech of the Harris hawk and the hiss and growl of the ring-tail cat that echo through the air.
With stunningly beautiful illustrations by acclaimed illustrator Maurice Pledger, Sounds of the Wild: Desert is the perfect book for every child curious about these unique places.

Customer Reviews
A: Interactivity just enough for a toddler
Each page of this book is a visual gift for toddlers. The animals "jump" out at you as you open the page, but the sounds will bring even the most fidgety toddler to silence. My grand children's favorite is the howling wolf. But it is not just the sights and sounds of the pages, it is also the information provided that makes this such a great book. The animals are all identified and you given a brief written snapshot of their habits and habitat. This has meant that my 2-year old granddaughter can identify a loris!
B: Love these books
Needless to say that a lot of supervision is necessary for kids below 5 years old because of the pop-ups that can be easily torn or broken...We have already some Maurice Pledger's books. These books are wonderfully illustrated, have sounds matching to the pop-ups, they keep kids attention, they really make the difference. I highly recommend them.
Recommended for ages 5 and up.
