The Adventures of Silly Willy Winston as Explorer Snout in a Tale of Two Deserts

Silly Willy Winston lives in Nevada with his BFF Livi. They spend a lot of time in the pool to stay cool but what they love to do most is explore. When they set out on a journey Silly Willy Winston readies his nose and his snout. In a jiffy he becomes Explorer Snout. In this book they explore the Mojave and Gobi Deserts. They learn what creatures live there and how they survive. They also discover a rare bear that calls the Gobi its home.

Here's what one teacher who also blogs about children's and YA books wrote:

A wonderful combination of fiction and informational text! Explorer Snout takes Livi on an adventure to learn about deserts, especially the Mojava and the Gobi deserts. This book is packed with facts about deserts (rainfall, temperature, animals, safety, etc.) and text features (headings, map, captions, etc.). Although the book is fiction I will positively be sharing it with my second graders as a way to learn about a desert biome. 4 stars
