Found this at the library and I had to order my own copy. Living by the beach this is great for the kids and I to look through and get information on the things we see each time we go.
For the young reader, a great series

The Golden guides are classics, sometimes dated in both name and nominclature, but for a kid just getting started they can't be beat. They are small for small hands, have general but limited information and decent color drawings. You know a book is well received when it has continued to be printed for well over half a century!I teach in a College and was surprised to see that they are still the book of choice for some Biology students who also grew up with them. The only reason I don't give them 4 stars is the fact that much of the info is awfully dated.
