    Describe the book:


    In this book you learn about who and what lives in the desert. This book is and educational book which
    teaches a lot about the desert.

    Explore issues the book raises:


    This book suggest how the people of which live in or near the dessert survive, and she suggests that no-
    one that is not use to desert like conditions to not go there. due to the desserts harsh condition it would
    apart any city person who has no experience in the dessert. the book still doesn't touch base on how they
    get there water or all the animals that live there or the plant that take the effort to survive. the book really
    only touches base on the basics of a desert.  

    Relate your argument to other books or authors:


    I don't agree with the authors opinion because she is just telling about the basics of a desert and if any one
    who read this was curious like me about the desert
    Relate the book to larger issues:
    It did not affect because I already knew this. They haven’t. This book is not related to my own course or
    agenda.

    Is this book useful?  


    Yes, because it teaches you about the desert and what you need to now to survive and be like an everyday
    person.

    Summary
       
    This book  is an educational and interesting book about the desert. If you read this you will learn about
    what animals and plants live in the desert and who lives there to. Make sure to read this book thoroughly
    to make sure you will understand it. This book is a wonderful resource if you need information on the
    desert. It is in depth with all the information they give. I give it 3 out of 5.
