I purchased 5 books of this series for my five year old daughter for Christmas, as she wanted a "field guide" like her older sisters when exploring our 45 acres of woods. 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 and tips on studying nature in general. What we enjoy most is that many of these animals can be found in our back yard to furthur study. Each book deals with three types of animal, such as Frogs, Toads, and Turtles. 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 book and others in the series for those who want their children to learn about nature and how to respect it.
This is the first book we got in the Take-Along-Guide series and we love it and plan to collect them all. The illustrations are lovely (although I find photos easier for a true guide book) but the brief diet and habitat notes were perfect for my 4yr son. The size guide and ruler on the back of the book were great to help my son get a feel for the differences in the species. Great for young scientists and explorers (I would say 4-8yr). Older children and adults will probably want more info than this book provides.I also recommend the One Small Square books by Donald M. Silver. [..]
I love this book, the illustrations are great and information is awesome. Not just a field guide also has fun craft or art ideas for kids. The back has a view pages to put photographs. At first I thought the back was for sketches but the paper is too glossy to do that. Overall this was a great book in our homeschooling when studying frogs, toads, and turtles.
We purchased this book (and several others like it, but different topics) for our grandchildren. My husband and I both looked at them when they came and we loved them ourselves! The pictures are great and the print is the perfect size. I think it gives enough information, but not too much information. It's not so long that the kids will get bored before they are finished reading it.
Very well written with beautiful pictures. My 7 year old granddaughter is an outdoor princess who isn't satisfied with merely seeing things - she wants to know what she's seeing & some information about it. This entire series of books does just that. Makes identifying very easy & gives factual information in just the right amount for elementary age children . Highly recommend!
I originally bought this book for an eight-year-old child to read, but before I would give it to him, I wanted to read it over and see if it was appropriate for his age. I think this book is good for children ages 8 and up. The reading about the Frogs, Toads and Turtles is very interesting and well-written, though brief. The pictures vividly display God's creatures. There is more than adequate space of four blank pages left in the back of the book for free drawing by the child, besides two pages for an arts and crafts project of making a turtle out of construction paper. The free drawing pages, the child can do on his own, however, the arts and crafts project may need an adult to help him with, unless the child is older than ten. When going camping as a family, this book can be helpful to use as a guide for looking for toads, frogs and/or turtles, and it can prove to be very handy. Just to read about these animals without the camping trip, can be interesting reading for adults to children, as well as for the child to read alone, depending upon their age, and for interested adults to learn about too.
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.
Our newest class pet is a frog, the students loved this book full of information! The book also has an Accelerated Reader comprehension test available.
