Customer Reviews

entertaining and easily informative

we live in the arizona desert and have grandchildren in other states. i am trying to show them the wonderful creatures who live around us and let them learn about each one. we have given these bright kids many stuffed replicas of our desert neighbors and then added appropriate age books to complete their understanding. this was the perfect addition to a very life-like stuffed roadrunner we gave to a seven year old. she cuddles with the animal while her dad reads her the book. when they come to see us she is always anxious to see the desert fauna...no fear and with a basic understanding of who these creatures are.

A Great New Science Book

Told in rhythmic verse and containing wonderful water color illustrations of desert nature scenes, this book introduces many facts about roadrunners in a way that children will love and not soon forget. My 8-year old loves this book, and so do I!

Lizards for Lunch: A Roadrunner's Tale

My kids (3 and 5) love this book! They don't have many other books that make them laugh so consistently (and teach them wonderful things at the same time). Storad and Atwood have hit upon a great combination of entertainment and education where the desert is concerned!
