Description/Notes
Using double-page spreads, this book in English and Spanish introduces the animals and sounds found in a Southwestern desert. A bilingual poem which describes some of the sounds of nature in a desert. 'Vibrantly illustrated double-page spreads accompany the simple text. Librarians will want to use this title with storytime groups.' Pat Mora's simple, poetic text in English and Spanish visits the desert at nightfall, when many different voices are speaking. Young children who have Spanish as either their first or second language will delight in the repeated, rhythmic sounds of this fascinating habitat at night. Lively illustrations are rendered in the vibrant hues of the desert.
