Synopsis
It is another hot day in the desert. Birds and other animals scurry about looking for food. When they get tired they stop to rest at a giant cactus. It is their hotel in the desert! Many different animals live in the cactus hotel. It protects them; and they protect it, by eating the pests that could harm the cactus. The cactus grows larger and larger and will live for about two hundred years. When one animal moves out, another moves in. There is never a vacancy in the cactus hotel. This story--about a desert, a giant cactus, and the animals who live in it--is one that even the youngest child will understand and enjoy.

  • Cactus Hotel is a beautifully illustrated book about the life of a saguaro cactus.

    Cactus Hotel is a wonderful book. I highly recommend this children's nature book, but maybe not this seller. Bought the paperback version. Wish now I had bought a hardcover. It wasn't packaged well and was bent; came only with one flimsy piece of cardboard inside a bubble envelope.

  • Interesting book and great find!

    Although this is actually written as a children's book, I found the information contained in it was very informational for adults as well. I love the illustrations and am happy to include it in my library.

  • A saguaro cactus becomes home for many animals over a 200 year period of time.

    My granddaughter chose this book. She is seven years old. We learned so many facts about the saguaro cactus.
