Not only entertaining, but informative. Manning was a longtime editorial cartoonist based in Arizona, and he carries over his love of the area into this collection, which explains the different kinds of cacti (and certain non-cacti) that could be found in the area. Lovely and funny illustrations. Slight warning about a few obsolete (ahem) terms used. ( )

A book which my three year old son begged from his grandmother. It must have appealed to his artistic bent, because at 17 he is quite good at caricature drawing. None of us really likes cactus. This book is truly funny, especially if you have ever had a run in with that prickly plant. ( )

Funny book that has been around for many years and tells a story about each of the styles of cactus in humours
form. This way you can identify the cactus and at the same time remember what it is because it made you laugh! ( )

Thanks, Dana.
