5.0 out of 5 stars
exelent field guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Guide to Amphibians and Reptiles (Stokes Nature Guides) (Paperback)
This is by far the most detailed and enjoyable to read feild guide to amphibians and reptiles we could find. However, it does not include as many different species as some do, but it has much more information per species. I wish Thomas Tyning would write more nature books.
