Excellent!
This book, written in playful rhyme, chronicles how a "seed so black and tiny" travels through the desert and eventually takes root in the earth, growing into a giant sanguaro. Helping along the way is a packrat who carries the fruit which contains the seeds "with a great deal of worry." Why? Because he was being chased by a "snake that slid with no sound" who, by the way, is being followed by a ...

Mark Klett has been photographing the deserts of the American West, in particular the beauties of the Sonoran landscape--a desert that sprawls across southern Arizona and northern Mexico. Along with coyotes and tumbleweeds, saguaro cacti are one of the most recognizable (and stereotypical) features of this region. Klett's portraits of these giant desert plants are straightforward and frontal. Klett is known for teasing out the implications of ...

Saguaro Cactus (Early Bird Nature Books)

Lerner Publications, 1994

Excellent, interesting explanations of cacti survival
Amazing facts about the little-known but heavily-filmed Saguaro Cactus make this book a powerhouse for young children. Parents enjoy reading to their children because they too learn as they read along. Storad writes in a nice, clear fashion and explains both the "insides" and the outsides of the plant. An excellent book for school libraries. K. Hand

Our cactus friends!
The first time I visited the Saguaro National Park in Tucson, Arizona, I had dozens of questions about saguaros. I wanted to know why their arms grow down toward the ground sometimes and why some of them have a brown woody bark and why some of them have ripples and what happens to you if you get caught shooting at a saguaro. This book answered all of my questions and then some! I found out ...

Norman Partridge

Berkley, 1997

Drive-In Seduction
To anyone suggesting that the Baddalach novels are breezy and insufficient is to completely miss the point of Norman Partridge's work. The two Jack Baddalach novels of Mr. Partridge represent a very particular type of story for particular type people, namely those people who love b-films, classic monster movies, surf music and women in leather. Partridge uses the icons of the Atomic Age to give ...

Saguaro: The Desert Giant

Anna Humphreys, Susan Lowell

Rio Nuevo Publishers, 2002

FANTASTIC guide to a fascinating desert plant
It's hard to say what the appeal of the saguaro cactus is exactly, but perhaps it is the way people relate to them. Their branches are referred to as arms; the young plants are called babies; and they live under nurse plants as seedlings. More than just being anthropomorphic, these giant cactuses are the true emblem of the spectacular Sonoran Desert. Across the country (far from their tiny ...

A saguaro cactus
This book contains so much more than the title would suggest. It tells not only of the cactus itself but also of the desert life that surrounds it and uses it. There are photographs and sketches of the desert animals as well as "side bars" with interesting information about desert life. Also included are suggested activities for using the new knowledge about desert life.
