Efraín of the Sonoran Desert: A Lizard's Life Among the Seri Indians

I read Efraín of the Sonoran Desert to Mrs. Strauss-Kolb's third/fourth grade class. After finishing the story, I asked the students to draw their own lizard from their imagination. After the drawing, the students used their illustration to retell the story to the class. The following are Ashleigh's, Steven's, and Kodi's lizards.
