      Clumsy rhymes, sidebars, and realistic paintings introduce desert animals, climate, plants, and the like. The quatrains feature each letter of the alphabet: "Kangaroo rat begins with K. / What a jumping superstar! / A tufted tail and oversized legs / allow it to leap quite far." Sidebars provide more detailed and useful information. The organization of information is random. Websites. Glos.
