Summary: Excited About Nature
Comment: We purchased this book for our two little ones and have enjoyed running to get the book when we see unusual and interesting bugs, leaves, etc. outside in our natural wonderland of a back yard! We even keep the book on the bookshelves in the kitchen for fast reference! I have noticed that not everything we have wanted to look up is in the book but not everything can be and we are very pleased with the book as a whole. I do wish there were colored pictures to help me identify certain creatures when I'm not 100% sure "that is it".

Summary: The most detailed nature handbook available.
Comment: This handbook was written for school-aged children by a professor at Cornell University in New York. The plant and animal life represented is therefore specific to the New York area, but most of these animals can also be found across the northern continental US and southern Canada. There are some useful sections that would apply to Hawaii, but I agree that they are few. For example, it includes Astronomy and Geology. Finally, this book excludes oceanographic studies, so to round off your child's nature studies, you will need to purchase a separate book, such as "The Edge of the Sea," by Rachel Carson. Of course, if you are really serious about nature study, you will probably have several good books on related topics.

Summary: Good book depending on your location
Comment: I checked this book out of our local library because it was recommended for homeschoolers and because of the reviews here at Amazon.com. I do agree this is an excellent book BUT not very useful when you live in Hawaii. Seems the animals and plants the writer focusses on are mostly common to the eastcoast of the US. If you live in Hawaii, and possibly other places on the mainland, this book in not very helpful in studying our daily environment.
