Reviews
"Known for its charmingly illustrated guide books, the Nature Study Guild returns with a new volume which will assist nature lovers in decoding the stories of the natural world.... The text and illustrations helpfully delineate and illustrate the differences between similar species, imparting confidence in the novice nature explorer.... Perfect for casual explorers, seasoned hikers, and students alike." -- Library Journal, "Nature Study Guild, longtime publisher of small books on single, narrow subjects, has combined five of their works into one useful and interesting book. Chapters cover trees; flowers, fruits, and ferns; mammals and birds; the ocean; and 'the Night Sky,' each giving readers tools for identification and appreciation of their surroundings.... The detail is wonderful.... A good choice for armchair explorers or any nature collection." -- Booklist
