Young readers are introduced to the concept of habitats in this colorful book. Each spread describes a different habitat and the animals that live there. Children will learn about habitats in forests, deserts, grasslands, wetlands, on mountains, and in the Arctic and Antarctic. An activity asks readers to use what they have learned to match photos of habitats with their habitat names.

The poetry of Mercedes Roffe knows how to surround the silence, seduce the readers from an abyss feeling, and dares to skirt the limits in a plural sense. It is a return trip to the genesis and future of every word, a journey whose highest points happen whenever lightning appears. That is, whenever Roffe captures the poetic brilliance of words. She is currently one of the greatest voices in Argentine poetry. Some of the most sensitive aspects of human experiences are included in this ninth book of poems."
