I purchased 5 books of this series for my five year old daughter for Christmas, as she is a nature lover and loves anything to do with science. After reviewing these books before giving them, we decided to use them as part of our science program for our home school. These books have bright and colorful pictures, short accurate explanations of the animal, their habitat, eating habits, and even some of the popular anecdotes that go along with the animal. It has the appropriate warning for studying certain animals. What we enjoy most is many of these animals can be found in our back yard to furthur study. Each book deals with three types of animal, such as snakes, salamanders and lizards. They are separated into sections dealing with each type. At the end of the section is a wonderful hands-on project the child can basically do on their own within the recommended age group (9-12) or with some assistance for a younger age group like my daughter. My 5 year old begs us to read these books to her and loves the projects. I highly recommend this bokk and others in the series for those who want their children to learn about nature and how to respect it. I can't wait to obtain the remaining books of this series.
I used Diane Burns' book as an aid for nature programs while I was working as a naturalist. Each animal is depicted in full color with pertinent details and hazards to watch for. Young kids love the colorful pictures of their favorite "slimy" creatures, while older kids can read the information and learn where and when to find the creatures. I found that Burns' book works better than a more sophisticated source when working with children, as it is written at their level -- but adults can also gain much knowledge from the information. My congratulations to Diane Burns for writing such a wonderful book!
This is a good series of books. I started with the book on birds and soon realized we needed more. And several of my grandchildren decided them wanted them as well. I have ordered many of them and never been disappointed.
8 Yr old really enjoys this book. He said it helps him to figure out the kind of reptiles that he has seen outside. He even has a salamander he found and it has a lot of info and facts on it.
Great book as a take along. My three grandchildren loved the pictures and concise descriptions.It is a great quick resource for 9 year olds.
This book is among a collection of books about animals, reptiles, bugs, and so forth. They are all wonderful for everyone, especially children. The drawings are great. Wonderful learning tool.
Our kids love these books, so we bought extras to give away as birthday gifts. We used them to identify frogs, toads, snakes and salamanders that the kids find in our yard.
My son's school required the kids to have this for third grade. He is enjoying the book. You know they are good when they love the required reading!
