Take it along like a teacher in your pocket. I ordered this book for several children to use to know the names of local birds and lizards and was not disappointed.Easy to read and find alphabetical listings, colorful and plentiful. The children all under the age of ten continued to read it after we returned from our wanderings and I appreciate the care with which the authors chose to reveal a lovely hand held book that is easy to pack and throw around in the car. We enjoy it.GREAT reference tool! What a GREAT reference tool! Pics are awesome, easy to see details, yet book size is perfect to sit on outdoor end table easily. We recently moved to the desert southwest so we are seeing plants and wildlife weve never seen before!! Now we have something to tell us what that bird... bug... plant is! I just love it! It would be a great value at twice the price, honestly!The quality of paper used is really good too. It is somewhere between a hard cover and a paper back. Inside pages are like a thick magazine type paper. Very nice quality. Especially for this price!Handy overview and reference to nature of the Southwest Loved this book. Read cover to cover prior to a trip out to Utah and Arizona where I went camping at several national parks. That prepared me for some of what I would see. I then brought it with me on the trip and was able to look up things as I went along, especially flowers, trees and birds. There were certainly things I saw that weren't in the book, but overall I found it extremely handy, so much so I got the book for the region I actually live in (Southeast) and plan to order the one for the region where I grew up (New England).
