Ok, this guide is a must if you live in New England and have any interest in nature. I love, love, love this book and I bought it used. This should, in fact, be your first guide. Pack it in your backpack or car for quick reference or keep it on the porch or wherever you tend to have questions about your yard. Truly, this book will now be a gift I give to parents/guardians who are choosing to explore the outdoors with kids while they homeschool or prepare for summer. It also would be a perfect gift for someone who just bought a camp or cottage or will be camping, hiking, fishing or heading to a summer camp.This guide is not filled with extreme details. It's the opposite. The Kaufman's give you just enough to launch you on your own discovery about ANY aspect of nature in New England. This doesn't mean they don't help you identify what you've found, but if they don't help exactly, they narrow your focus. My children(5 and 8) and I who homeschool in southern Maine have already used it at the ocean, in our back yard for birding, salamander and insect queries, while hiking discovering the differences between common ferns and wildflowers. I've also used it in my garden, identifying potential insect concerns. The fact it also includes basic information about geology and astrology has me wanting one for home and our backpacks. The Kaufman's inspire you to explore.Details that save you time in identification are the color tabs at the top corner and side of each page. The ones on the side move top to bottom with the bottom color tab being at the back of the book. Once you familiarize yourself with the colors, you will know in seconds where to open the book and spot the bird who is just about to fly away.
