Chester the scorpion has a problem: everyone's terrified of him.

It's hard to make friends when creatures flee at the sight of you. But in Death Valley, Chester discovers five other misfits who see past his stinger to the friend underneath.
There's Sammy, a rattlesnake whose rattle doesn't rattle. Timmy, a tortoise who craves speed. Wiley, a roadrunner who can barely fly. Iggy, an iguana with cosmic questions. And Q, a kestrel who dreams of being an eagle.

Together, this ragtag gang tackles life's biggest challenges - and has the time of their lives doing it.

Join them as they:

Engineer creative solutions to impossible problems
Journey from desert to ocean and back again
Face their deepest fears with courage and humor
Learn that true friendship means accepting each other exactly as they are

From hilarious misadventures to touching moments of discovery, Desert Animal Friends celebrates the misfits, the dreamers, and the friends who stick together no matter what.
Fans of Winnie the Pooh and Charlotte's Web will delight in this heartwarming tale about friendship, belonging, and being brave enough to be yourself.
