Small and light, [it features] lovely color illustrations of several hundred species of plants, mammals, reptiles, fish and birds." - San Francisco Chronicle "A useful and informative guide ... this is a user-friendly book with an excellent introduction." - Books of the Southwest Review

  • attractive book short on details

    this is an attractive book but short on details and seems written from other books . Authors seem unfamiliar with those plants and animals most commonly seen.
