About This Book
The intriguing life cycle of the saguaro cactus and the complex web of life that
characterizes the North American Sonoran desert is effectively explored in this
involving picture book. Guiberson's text captures the reader with its steady
pace and often delightful echoes of cumulative nursery tales. She weaves an
amazingly large range of facts into this simple story of a fragile ecosystem,
and helps children comprehend just how much plants and animals depend upon one
another for their survival. Lloyd's ( The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of
Anything ) paintings evoke the desert landscape with their pastel-shaded
palette, changing point of view and finely rendered scenes of native flora and
fauna. Best used as a read-aloud, this is a fine prequel to Barbara Bash's more
extensive and detailed Desert Giant. -- From Publishers Weekly
