Companion summary

Imagine a place so dry that it might not rain for a whole year — how would animals survive there? Deserts cover about one fifth of all the land on Earth, so people and animals really do live in them! The Sahara Desert in Africa is so big it is almost as wide as the whole United States. When you finish, try drawing your favourite desert animal and thinking about how it stays cool and finds water.

Think about rain. Rain makes things wet. But some places hardly ever get rain. They stay dry all the time!
