Review:

The Sonoran Desert stretches from the Southwestern United States down through Western Mexico and is home to many creatures, including one of the world’s tiniest and cutest birds of prey: the elf owl. We will follow him through his ecosystem as he goes about his nightly business, and then join him as he ventures out on his own during the day. There is always something interesting to observe at any time of day or night in this surprisingly biodiverse ecosystem.

This book is a suggested read-aloud for The Good and the Beautiful Ecosystems Science Unit Study.
