Fun to have along

It was handy to have along to check tracks or droppings. Nicely written and easy to read.

Really Fun to Read

I liked this book a lot. The author has a knack for choosing to present facts that are interesting. Made me want to get out into the woods.

A superb book, essential on any canoe trip.

This is a great field guide to all the creatures you might encounter on a canoe trip in the North Woods. It is very succinct, yet written in an interesting prose, with about 2 to 3 pages dedicated to each animal, fish, or insect it describes. We consider it an essential part of the gear we take on all our canoe trips up North. You will not be disappointed in this book. Great for all ages.

Excellent!

An excellent overview of wildlife of the Northern Minnesota area. There are interesting and informative descriptions of everything from birds to insects to fish. The scope of the book is so broad that only a few of each type of creature can be listed, but he has chosen the ones, such as loons, herons, and otters, that are so special to the North woods. Highly recommended.

This Book Description Leaves A Lot To Be Desired

'Nuff said. The rating-stars do not apply, as I have not seen the book, and am not likely to until I can find out more on its content. *-(
