When you think about a desert, the Sahara probably comes to mind first. But the Sahara is only one desert of so many! This issue puts deserts all over the world under a microscope and offers up some amazing facts. Kids will imagine traveling from one side of the United States to the other and not seeing anything but desert. That’s about the size of the Sahara, the world’s largest desert. They’ll think about the Namib Desert, where it might be 40ºF when they dress for school in the morning and 105ºF by lunchtime. And they’ll enjoy contemplating what it feels like to go “sledding” on the steep slopes of sand in the Namib. Exploring deserts in the United States, they’ll discover the century plant, with its huge, bright yellow flower clusters, which blooms once in 10 to 20 years and then dies.
Animal lovers will find a wealth of intriguing images and information about desert creatures. Data lovers will enjoy details about the extremes in temperature, area, and rainfall in the world’s deserts. For kids focused on science, this issue contains fascinating facts about the ways plants, animals, and humans have adapted to life with so little water and so much heat, such as the addax, a rare antelope that never drinks water, ever. Kids interested in geography will want to compare deserts in different parts of the world – including Antarctica and the Arctic. And language lovers will find a world of words to describe different types of desert lands, such as ergs, hamadas, and regs.
