Summary: *FIRST* guide!
Comment: The guide says right on it, for BEGINNING naturalists.
Not to be confused with a comprehensive, highly detailed, professional field guide.
It's SUPPOSED to be for kids!
Sheeesh.

Rating: 3
Summary: Only good for kids.
Comment: While it does cover a wide range of wildlife, the drawings themselves are not very realistic - they represent the animal, yes, but not accurately enough to really be used as a teaching field guide, even for non-magors. It'd probably be ok for younger kids, though. 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 included very little as to where the animals were actually found (no idea of range). The plants section was really tiny as well. Needless to say, I'm still searching for a field guide to use in my class.
