«Cactus Hotel» is the nature book for children by Brenda Z. Guiberson, published by Henry Holt and Co. (BYR) in hardcover (32 pages, in English).
It narrates the life cycle of the saguaro cactus of the Sonoran Desert, which for about two hundred years gives shelter to birds, insects, and other creatures; in return, the tenants protect it from pests. Thus it shows the web of dependencies of a fragile ecosystem, the shared home of the desert.
The title also appears as «Cactus Hotel (Rise and Shine)» and «Cactus Hotel (An Owlet Book)»; the edition is illustrated by Megan Lloyd.
Aimed at children aged 4 to 8, it works well as a read-aloud.
