Summary:
"The deserts are full of creatures searching for food to eat--and trying to avoid becoming food themselves. From birth to growth to reproduction, survival at each stage of the life cycle depends on knowing who thinks you could be a tasty snack! Discover the life cycles of eleven living things in three deserts, and how they link up to create three food chains. Use the picture clues on each page to guess which predator is ready to pounce!"--Back cover.
