When the sun goes down, the desert wakes up.
Coyote comes out of his den and howls. Jackrabbit pops out of his burrow and races across the sand.

Owl swoops down from her nest in the tall cactus. Bat flies out of his cave and catches bugs in the air.

Rattlesnake slips out from under a rock and flicks her tongue. Gecko scoots out of a crack in the rock and wiggles his tail.

Toad hops out of his hole in the ground and catches a spider. Deer mouse scurries out of her hole to gather seeds.

The desert is awake. But Cailin and her dad are snug and safe in their sleeping bags, asleep under the stars.
