A beautifully and colorfully illustrated children's book in large soft cover. An older man lives alone in the desert with his donkey. He has a house, donkey shelter, and water. He's lonely and decides to plant a vegetable garden, which he irrigates. Soon animals are visiting his garden for a drink. He builds a water hole for the animals but finds they aren't coming to his new creation. Then he realizes it's too close to the house and the larger animals are afraid, so he digs a new water hole further from the house, surrounded by desert growth. Soon all the animals find this new watering hole and come. Alejandro no longer feels so alone, and the small critters still come to his garden. There are two pages of illustrations of desert animals and plants, including their habits. It's educational and the illustrations are superb.

The writing in Alejandro's Gift is a little dry, making it seem like it is for younger readers, but the information in the back of the book is enjoyable for all elementary readers. The book is written simply in a slow pace, with easy to understand language, but it is done so with the intention of understanding the slow pace of living in the desert and trying to grow a garden. That said, the dryness of the writing isn't very engaging and it was easy to lose interest. The only person in the book was Alejandro, and readers literally watched grass grow as animals came to check out his plants. The saving grace of this book is the informational section at the back of the book that details different types of animals that live in the desert. I found this very interesting, and strangely enough, it was much less dry than the rest of the book. Alejandro's Gift is a fine book, but like the desert, because of how slow and dry it is, I wouldn't recommend it.

The book could be a good introduction to the wildlife in the Sonoran desert, but kids will find it a little heavy-handed and text-heavy.

Good multicultural book, especially for arizona school children.
