Deserts by Janet Hardy- Gould
This week I read "Deserts" by Janet Hardy-Gould. This book is written about desert. I will tell about my findings of the book. When you find a photo of a desert in a book, it is usually a very hot, dry place with a lot of yellow sand and no animals or people. Is this a true picture of deserts across the world? The answer is yes – and no. Deserts are, of course, very dry – a desert has under 25 centimetres of rain every year. In some deserts there is no rain for a very long time. Some deserts are hot for only part of the year, with very cold winters. And hot deserts can be very cold at night. When people think about of a desert, they often think of a place with no hills or mountains. But across many of the world’s deserts you can find tall mountains. Life in deserts, with their changing temperatures, warm winds and dry weather, can be very difficult. But you can find people in every hot desert across the world. Some people in Arabian Desert walk or drive for many days
