Now I can answer my son's questions!

My two boys often ask questions such as "What kind of bird is that?" or "where would we find a vole?" I purchased this book right before two road trips and we made great use of it. My sons were able to differentiate between kinds of birds and bugs while camping in British Columbia. Great book, I plan to build a collection of Peterson's First Guides. Started with this and the caterpillar/butterfly book.

*FIRST* guide!

The guide says right on it, for BEGINNING naturalists. Not to be confused with a comprehensive, highly detailed, professional field guide. It's SUPPOSED to be for kids!Sheeesh.
