By looking at small, specialized habitats, this series brings to life the multiple complexities present in even the most common or simple environments. For instance, a young reader will see the wealth of life that makes its home in a Saguaro cactus and learn of the richness of the life cycles of this familiar desert plant. Each book in the series presents an engaging life story with a wealth of additional information added in detailed sidebars. The Saguaro cactus plays an enormous role in the desert ecosystem by feeding and housing a local animal population. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
