What kind of text is this? Liam, Aria, and Hannah were amazed to learn that not all deserts are hot! Both hot and cold deserts are very dry, but unlike hot deserts, cold deserts have long winters when the temperatures can reach below freezing. Cold deserts also get a great deal of snow, which is certainly not true for hot deserts.

            Toad (Frog) Population Adventure!
      Liam, Evelyn, and Elijah are on a mission to help Dr. Knapp save the toads! Dr. Knapp doesn’t want people to just sit back and let the toads vanish. He believes everyone can be a hero for the toads. One of his wild ideas? Stop mowing parts of our lawns and let the grass grow tall and wild—perfect for toad hideouts! He also says we should stop using pesticides and fertilizers, because those chemicals hurt the insects that toads love to eat. If we all pitch in and make our yards toad-friendly, Dr. Knapp thinks we can save these awesome creatures.

What is the main point the author is trying to make? Olivia, Mia, and Avery love playing video games and watching TV sometimes, but they have the most fun when they play outside together! The fresh air outside is great for them, and they get to run, jump, and laugh a lot more. Doctors even say that being outside can make you feel happier. If Olivia or Mia ever feel a little sad, a walk or a game outside always cheers them up. People who play outside are usually healthier and happier than those who stay inside all day.
