Deserts are lands of opposites.
They are tough,
but also fragile.
They are places of drought,
Though rains can bring floods.
Many deserts are very hot,
And they can also get very cold.
The sun scorches the land above ground.
It is cool and quiet below ground.
Animals hide and rest during the day.
They emerge to hunt at night.
Deserts often look empty,
Yet they are full of life.
Let's go exploring!
Good day, fellow explorers!
We're off to visit an incredible biome!
Pack a sun hat.
And sunscreen.
And definitely bring
along a full water bottle.
Because today we're
exploring . . .
A biome is a
community of
plants and animals
that live together
in a certain
climate.
