Peterson First Guide To Reptiles And Amphibians

Small size and lightweight makes perfect to put in a pocket or nice stashed in a pack to identify poisonous and non-poisonous snakes and amphibians while on a day hike or a longer camping trip

It is as described. Works like a champ, if you are thinking you might like one this is the one for you so long as the model matches, as mine did. Excellent guide to reptiles and amphibians. Lets you know what you see out there in the woods.

We purchased these as party favors for a reptile themed party. The book was perfect for this purpose. Great photos, lots of info on a lot of Reptiles/Amphibians - perfect for elementary aged kids.

The Peterson Trsts are a great series. The pictures are color illistrations, with just enough text. Possible rejected as a children's book would be a huge mistake.

Excellent book. Great color photos and descriptions for identifying the frogs in which I was particularly interested and see in my area. The size of the book makes it easy to carry in my photo bag or back pocket.

Peterson's guides are all very good introductory handbooks providing sound basic information. All begining nature and science enthusiasts can benefit from these handy pocket books. I've collected several!

When ordering this guide I did not realize that "first guide ment that it was an abbreviated version. The frogs I was looking to identify were not included.

You can't beat the Peterson guide series for convenience and practicality. I have my own copy and bought this to encourage a young grandnephew who is interested in nature.

livret anglophone broché souple format poche de 1992; après 5 pages d'introduction sur les reptiles et amphibiens nord-américains, l'ouvrage décrit 183 espèces courantes (25 salamandres et tritons; 43 grenouilles et crapauds, 2 crocodiliens, 24 tortues terrestres et marines, 39 lézards et 50 serpents; 1 à 4 espèces par double page) avec un court article non systématisé à gauche illustré par un dessin couleur sur la page d'en face à droite indiquant les points clés d'identification; pas de carte de répartition; index à la fin; ce très joli petit guide micro-format destiné aux débutants nord-américains s'avérera vite insuffisant, même sur le terrain, il devra immanquablement être complété par un guide compact plus complet; pour la bibliothèque on préférera une encyclopédie plus complète
