A Gila woodpecker finds the perfect place to begin a new hotel – a huge saguaro cactus! From daintyowls to buzzing insects, from silent bats to desert songbirds, everyone wants to live in the coolest desert high rise around. This is one of The Boy’s favorite books – and gets a four paws up from me, too! (Parents and teachers will appreciate how much solid educational information is packed into this simple story.)
