Perfect for children and nature lovers, this used book in good condition combines education with hands-on fun, featuring detailed illustrations and dynamic animal motions that bring the desert ecosystem to life. ## Description An interactive pop-up book about desert animals that’s as educational as it is fun! This National Geographic Action Book takes readers through a day in the Sonoran Desert, starting with the kestrel’s morning flight and ending with night prowlers hunting under a full moon. The story bounces around from animal to animal with the large cast including mountain lions, roadrunners, and rattlesnakes. As children learn about these creatures and their arid yet beautiful habitat, they are given the opportunity to use pull tabs to make birds fly, snakes slither, and pack rats play. The text also prompts readers to seek out hidden animals like foxes and Gila monsters taking refuge from the hot sun. Look closely under rocks and plants to find the shade seekers. Whether or not they are reading yet, children are sure to love this multitiered pop-up book, teeming with gorgeously illustrated saguaro cacti, birds of prey, and other Sonoran Desert mainstays. Review: Beautiful, excellent quality book. - Living in and loving the Sonoran Desert, I buy this book for every kid I know. This is a gorgeous, educational, interactive book that is chock full of fun flaps and slides and exciting 3-D pop-ups on every page. It will make the reader want to visit this desert in person. Review: Amazing nature pop-up books by National Geographic - I recently discovered the National Geographic pop-up books when my husband found a mint copy of Animal Homes in his childhood stuff. Unfortunately it seems that most of these books are now out of print, but I was happy to find the Creatures of the Desert World. As with Animal Homes, the intricacy, large size and detail of the pop-up art is impressive and unmatched by any other nature pop-up books that I've seen. Unlike most books where the 3-D element is really small or solitary, the art in these books fills the full spread. There's lots of dimension to the pages including stunning 3-D layers, animals in motion, tabs to pull to create action and lift tabs to reveal hidden animals. The images are detailed, colorful illustrations printed on both sides of the dimensional elements. The text is unexciting, but it's a minor complaint when faced with such an amazing book. My toddler is obsessed with these books, although she requires a lot of supervision and reminders to keep her grubby, little hands off the animals. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #96,909 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #161 in Children's Reptile & Amphibian Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 310 Reviews | ## Images ![Creatures of the Desert World - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uKZnawSbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful, excellent quality book. *by B***A on October 24, 2022* Living in and loving the Sonoran Desert, I buy this book for every kid I know.

The animals come alive when you move the tabs. For younger kids you have to be careful they don’t break them, but it is good for a lot of squealing enjoyment. Great artwork, I want to get a copy just for myself! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/11092202-creatures-of-the-desert-world](https://www.desertcart.be/products/11092202-creatures-of-the-desert-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
