Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Peterson First Guides are the first books the beginning naturalist needs. Condensed versions of the famous Peterson Field Guides, the First Guides focus on the animals, plants, and other natural things you are most likely to see.

- Now I can answer my son's questions!My two boys often ask questions such as "What kind of bird is that?" or "where would we find a vole?"

Great book, I plan to build a collection of Peterson's First Guides. Started with this and the caterpillar/butterfly book.

It's SUPPOSED to be for kids!
Sheeesh.

There were some magor types of wildlife that I thought should be included that were not (red-tail hawk, box turtle), as well as some that I don't know why they're in there (humpback whale, viruses). The descriptions were short, and ... Read More
