Mojave
by Diane Siebert
Amazon Price: $18.15
Customer Review: The Sonoran has always received more interest than its Western sibling. Accordingly, there have long been children's books about the Sonoran Desert, as with "Cactus Hotel." Despite a population of millions of Americans, "Mojave" has long been the only young person's book about the desert. So in addition to this book's artistic merits, Diane Siebert and Wendell Minor's "Mojave" stands as the first nationally available book about the Mojave Desert for young readers. In the book, the desert is itself the narrator. Writing in the first person, the desert discusses her landscape, weather and animals. Through poetry, the reader comes to appreciate the wildness and flavor of the place. "Mojave" is a beautiful work but it has issues. First off, while marketed as a children's book, it has little appeal to young readers. The aesthetics of the book appeal more to mature readers. For example, Minor's illustrations are attractive but they are painted with an abstract and serious timbre that most children will find uninteresting. This is exacerbated when the text and pictures are only loosely related. "Mojave" reads as one long narrative; given the abstract tone, it might have been more effective if illustrations were directly connected with each poem. This is one of those books that few children will voluntarily read but adults will enjoy reading to kids. This isn't necessarily a bad thing since young people often need to be encouraged to appreciate literature that is outside of the popular culture. In the end, there is a strong alternative. While not exclusively about the Mojave, Frank Asch's "Cactus Poems" has enough Mojave related poetry to qualify as a successor. Beyond this, what children's lit really needed first wasn't a poetic book about the Mojave, but an introductory non-fiction title. While Ruth K. A. Devlin's "Desert Seasons: A Year in the Mojave" came closest, it managed to fumble meeting this need. "Mojave" is a beautiful book that was ahead of its time but it also left the door open for additional books about the Mojave for young people.
Desert Dog
by Jim Kjelgaard
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: Jim Kjelgaard is famous for bringing the northern woods into sharp relief as he relates tales of dogs, wolves, and men. With Desert Dog, he demonstrates that he can also bring the desperate world of the southwestern desert to life, with detailed and expert-sounding descriptions of the local flora, fauna, and other natural features.
Desert Dog tells the story of a Tawny, a champion-speed greyhound who is lost alone in the desert. We get many of the staples of a Kjelgaard tale-- triumphant survival in the face of an interesting array of natural dangers, as well as the introduction of a good-hearted and land-savvy man.
Tawny must reach through the layers of civility that he has been bred for, and find a capacity for survival that will match the harsh terrain.
This is a great, exciting tale that is sure to keep a young adult reader on the edge of his or her seat. Adults who read it may be reminded of the lean, sparse prose of a barebones western that has been stripped of its human characters.
This is a solid effort by a gifted author. Give it a try.

Desert Mammals

Customer Review: "Ms. Frizzle is the strangest, most surpising teacher ever. But this morning everything was amazingly calm. We were working on our diorama of the desert. Things seemed normal--which was odd. Nothing is *ever* normal in Ms. Frizzle's class!" -- from the book
In case you're not familiar with Scholastic series of Magic School Bus books, they are books which are based on the animated TV series--which are, incindentally, based on the ORIGINAL books written by Joanna Cole and illustrated by Bruce Degen. (Whew!)
So how do animals like tortoise, coyote, kangaroo rat, roadrunner, and Gila monster survive in a place where there is no water, food or shelter? According to Ms. Frizzle, scarcity is par for the course in deserts.
In The Magic School Bus: All Dried Up, Ms. Frizzle and the kids explore the weather, terrain and animals of the desert. They learn that where there are mountains, there are deserts (the "rain shadow effect"). As the bus transforms into various desert animals, they learn about defense mechanisms and ways of coping. For example, rabbits have "ear conditioning" which help them keep cool.
After a rainstorm, the deserts blooms with color and various plants--even shrimp in a big puddle!
There is also an easy-to-do experiment at the back of the book (remember the carnation in colored water trick?) to show kids how plants (including desert plants) use water.
I use the Magic School Bus books, videos and DVDs to supplement science class (I homeschool), and they never disappoint with their down-to-Earth approach to science concepts.
