A cute book that is full of interesting facts. The pictures are wonderful and fairly true to the desert color. Great vocabulary builder.

A delightful children's book that offers a heartwarming journey into the Sonoran Desert. Through the charming characters of Rodney the roadrunner and Quincy the quail, young readers are introduced to the themes of friendship, courage, and unity. Linda's storytelling is engaging and filled with valuable life lessons, making it a perfect read for children aged 6-10.

Mike Minick's illustrations are amazing, which bring the characters and the desert landscape to life in a vivid and captivating way. Desert Friends is not just a story; it's an educational adventure that teaches kids about the unique individuality of roadrunners and quails, all while entertaining them with memorable escapades.

A desert adventure with your best pals. I mean, who wouldn't want to hang out with Rodney the roadrunner and Quincy the quail? These two are like the coolest desert buddies ever, and their adventures are so much fun!

What I love about this book is that it's not just a story; it's like a lesson in friendship, courage, and unity. Linda Harkey's storytelling is so cool, and the way she teaches us about roadrunners and quails is awesome. But the best part? Mike Minick's illustrations are amazing! They make the desert and the characters come alive. So, if you're a kid (or a kid at heart) and want to go on a desert adventure with some awesome friends, you've got to read Desert Friends" It's like a treasure hunt for fun and learning!
