Giới thiệu về sách nói này

Watch the vulture bask in the morning sun, the
roadrunner kicks up a cloud of dust, the javelina
wallow, and the bobcat give her cub a licking with a
rough tongue in Desert Baths. As the sun and moon
travel across the sky, learn how twelve different desert
animals face the difficulties of staying clean in a dry
and parched land. Explore the desert habitat through
its animals and their habits of hygiene. Told in lyrical
prose, this story is a celebration of the desert lands of
the American Southwest.
