Customer Reviews

Fantastic introduction to field guides for young children.

This is one of my daughter's (1 year old) favorite books. She loves to open the flap of each page to reveal the wide panoramic. We find each of the items listed on the page. Cole does a great job including plants and other natural artifacts along with animals. He obviously knows his natural history, as everything is well placed. Can't recommend strongly enough. This book prompted us to buy Cole's follow up, "On the Way to the Beach", also excellent. I hope he makes more.

I wish there were many more books exaclty like this one!

My son and I discovered this book when he was two. Not only did it become one of our favorite reads, it also permanently increased his awareness of nature and his ability to observe it well. Flaps fold out into detailed three-page spreads of a variety of settings (in the woods and meadow, by a river, at the pond), and an inventory of read-and-seek items listed by their specific names encourages young ones to find and identify correctly a myriad of plants, animals, and even signs that let you know an animal has been there previously. A guide at the back helps you know you have matched up all the items correctly. It's like an excellent, anywhere field guide for little ones.

Science Made Fun
