My Big Book of the Desert — Mike Miller

Come and learn about the desert with Tomas, the friendly little tortoise who lives in his burrow in Red Rock Canyon! Tomas has been on many adventures, which have been written down and illustrated by Mike Miller. This is his first "Big Book." He wants you to find out which desert plants and animals are friendly and which ones are dangerous. What makes the canyon rock so red? Why is the desert so dry? What happens if you grab a lizard by the tail? Why shouldn't you feed the wild animals? Tomas promises the answers to all these questions and more.
