This review is from: Poisonous Dwellers of the Desert: Description, Habitat, Prevention, Treatment (Paperback)
This is a great reference book for us. Since we are new to the Arizona area it provided a lot of useful information. It is also in the National Parks Bookstores in the Sedona Area.

This review is from: Poisonous Dwellers of the Desert: Description, Habitat, Prevention, Treatment (Paperback)
It is small reference book that pictures and describes critters we should avoid. I had this book when my children were young and would read this to them and show them what to avoid and why I tell them to not pick up rocks in the desert w/o kicking them over, etc. It was a great reference book. I ordered this for my grandkids who are now desert dwellers too !!!
