If you're a backyard or weekend wildlife observer, this is the perfect book for you. Put it in your backpack, pocket, glove box or camper and always be ready to identify! The illustrations are excellent and provide enough detail to know one similar frog from another. If you're looking for some biological detail, go for a bigger book, but this one is great for quick ID.
I purchased 4 of these books ( all different) as gifts for my two nephews. I also purchased a magnifying glass for each of them . They are curious kids and really enjoy this kind of stuff. These books are full of information easy to read and understand, compact in size and just all around great books/guides. My husband and I also have a set of these books and have found them to be perfect when we want to look up something up. Like the pecular looking frog we found on our deck last summer or the snake the cat brought us. they are great for kids and adults. These guides are a real bargain too!!Highly recomend!
Peterson's guides are all very good introductory handbooks providing sound basic information. All begining nature and science enthusiasts can benefit from these handy pocket books. I've collected several!
It is as described. Works like a champ, if you are thinking you might like one this is the one for you so long as the model matches, as mine did. Excellent guide to reptiles and amphibians. Lets you know what you see out there in the woods.
I think the Peterson First Guides are great, I have four different ones and use them all the time. The Reptiles and Amphibians guide has great pictures and they seem very accurate. While I haven't seen a large variety of species yet, those that I have seem right on. In fact, when I was a kid we rescued an eastern box turtle from the road (it had been hit and we nursed it back to health), and the picture in the guide looked just like it. These guides are not for professional ID-ing of species I'm sure, however, for the casual observer like me, they are perfect.
Excellent book. Great color photos and descriptions for identifying the frogs in which I was particularly interested and see in my area. The size of the book makes it easy to carry in my photo bag or back pocket.
This book is a good read, not sure all kids will like it but our girl is very interested in animals and reptiles, she has adsorbed a lot from this book.
We purchased these as party favors for a reptile themed party. The book was perfect for this purpose. Great photos, lots of info on a lot of Reptiles/Amphibians - perfect for elementary aged kids.
