This stunning book all about deserts takes children on a grand tour of the driest places on Earth.

From the rugged Gobi to the dunes of the Sahara, discover 10 of the world's most spectacular deserts, and the animals and plants that live in them. With a selection of both famous and less well-known places, every desert is explored in detail, offering intriguing information about its geography, flora, and fauna alongside detailed photography and beautiful illustrations.

Meet camels that endure without water for days, reptiles that dance on hot sand, and plants that store moisture for months. Learn about the incredible salt lakes that host millions of flamingos, and discover how people have thrived in deserts for millennia. As well as the wonders of these remote areas, the threats facing mountains and their species are also investigated.

Desert will be treasured for years to come. With foil on the cover and sprayed edges, this book makes the perfect gift for any child with a passion for the natural world.
