Readers will soon imagine themselves nestled amid mesquite trees and yucca plants through this depiction of desert life. Describing both flora and fauna, these stories capture the excitement of the desert, as well as its quiet beauty, and are likely to leave readers curious to learn more and to see for themselves the wonders of the desert west.

The shore is full of wonders as it defines the boundary between sea and land, and is the one place where the two are mingled together. As waves wash over and over upon the land, the coastline itself is changed, and at Holiday Shore, these waves eventually washed away a little cove that then became a bay. It is in that bay that the subjects of these imaginative stories dwell. There, the reader will find eels, barnacles, king crab, starfish, and many other shoreline wonders to learn about and to marvel over.
