Great story about teaching children about what a cactus does for the environment.

Kayla_Christopherson | Dec 11, 2012 |

The book tells the story of animals and how they hunt. The book has a rhyme scheme that makes it easy to read. Is great for all elementary levels because it is easy to read and has lots of pictures in it. I gave it a 5 of 5 because of the way it is written, it makes its easy and fun to read. (
