The Cactus Dance/ La Danza del Cactus begins on a quiet summer day with giant Saguaro Cactus soaking in the sun. Then, a drop of rain changes everything as the desert awakens under an exhilarating and refreshing thunderstorm. Cactus leads readers in a playful dance where children will join desert critters and wildlife in a monsoon celebration with stomping, growling, twirling, and howling.
