A two-year-old girl is brought to the emergency room with a red mark on her leg. Her parents are sure that she has been bitten or stung, but the child is too young to explain what happened to her. A fascinating interview with the managing director of the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center in Tucson takes the reader through the various possibilities. Photographs and vivid descriptions of desert creatures, and the symptoms they can inflict with a bite or sting will intrigue young readers.
