When I was a kid my uncle gave me a copy of this book and it opened up a world which still intrigues me...reptiles and amphibians. Even today I consult the book for info on some lizzard I don't recognize or to see if salamanders actually spend a lot of time out of water. In fact, I'm sharing it with my own nephew now--age 11--who's discovering this new world of life for himself. This book is well-presented and easy-to-use, as well as full of great illustrations that alone make it worth reading through. Profiles of each reptile and amphibian are thorough withough being overwhelmingly scientific. A timeless classic for young or old...one to share over the generations.
The Golden Book on Reptiles and Amphibians is very well written, well illustrated, and is just one marvelous little book.When I was a young boy, around First Grade, my mom (who was a librarian at the time) got me all of the different Golden Guides on nature, including the one on reptiles. I used to read this snake, frog, lizard book over and over again, and along with the other Golden Guides, it helped shape my life and my lifetime love of nature...especially for snakes...and lizards. Today as an adult, I still go out to find and see snakes, lizards, frogs, turtles, salamanders, skinks....this little book was the impetus for a lifelong love of reptiles and amphibians.I am also a writer (Allergy-Free Gardening, Birthday Boy, Safe Sex in the Garden, The Highway Naturalist, etc..), and a former science teacher, and I recommend buying and giving these books as presents to all children.You might well strike a spark that will trigger a life long appreciation and fascination with nature.This book might well also be interesting and useful as a first book on snakes for anyone with a budding interest in wildlife, lizards, fishing, nature. But as with all the Golden Guides....these books are wonderful tools to create interest in young kids. For adults or teenagers I would recommend a reptile/amphibian book such as one of the Guides from Robert Stebbins, but for kids...the Golden Book is a darn good one to start with. Get each youngster his or her own book, and encourage them to write in the book, to make notes, to jot down dates as to when they first saw each species. This is a very fun, fine book!
I have used this book since I was a child. I purchased the latest updagted version of the book for a friend of mine who is learning how to identify poisonous snakes from non-poisonous snakes. Living here in Florida, it is important that you learn to identify snakes so that you do not intensionally kill those that will not harm you. It is one of the best pocket sized books I have used for that purpose.
I got this book months ago, and have read the whole thing about two or three times! I absoloutly love it! It has helped me find out what reptiles I have caught. I definatly reccomend it to anyone who wants to know about reptiles.
This series of field guides is outstanding and very appropriate for my second graders with clear pictures and good basic information, one page per species. The reading level is a little higher than the grade I teach, but guides for "beginners" never have complete enough information to satisfy a second grader's questions.Highly recommend.
Same book I had as a kid 50 years ago. It was one of my favorites. Now my grandson has a copy.
The Reptiles and Amphibians Golden Guide by Hobart M. Smith is fantastic. It is a very useful guide for learning more about and identifying reptiles and amphibians.
was the go to book on native retiles&hibians when i was a kid,it was my wish book.Have had a copy for the last 35 yrs
