Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 3^-6. Designed as a field guide, this colorful book devotes a page to each of 30 creatures, such as the spring peeper, the Great Plains toad, and the box turtle. Readers will learn what the animal looks like, where it lives, what it sounds like, what it eats, and (in small, decorated sidebars) "Interesting Facts," one per page. Another little box contains a warning or a bit of advice, ranging from the useful ("DO NOT TOUCH. This turtle bites hard and fast!") to the obvious ("Don't leave behind any litter"). Each section of the book begins with a general introduction and ends with an easy craft project. The five "Scrapbook" pages, bordered but otherwise blank, may invite unwanted scribbling. Sturdier and more attractive than most paperbacks, this wide-format book has sewn signatures, glossy pages, and several small line-and-wash illustrations on each page. Despite its drawbacks, the book presents useful information in an attractive format. Carolyn Phelan

Excellent learning tool!,

This review is from: Frogs, Toads & Turtles: Take Along Guide (Take Along Guides) (Paperback)
I purchased 5 books of this series for my five year old daughter for Christmas, as she wanted a "field guide" like her older sisters when exploring our 45 acres of woods. After reviewing these books before giving them, we decided to use them as part of our science program for our home school. These books have bright and colorful pictures, short accurate explanations of the animal, their habitat, eating habits, and even some of the popular anecdotes that go along with the animal. It has the appropriate warning for studying certain animals and tips on studying nature in general. What we enjoy most is that many of these animals can be found in our back yard to furthur study. Each book deals with three types of animal, such as Frogs, Toads, and Turtles. They are separated into sections dealing with each type. At the end of the section is a wonderful hands-on project the child can basically do on their own within the recommended age group (9-12) or with some assistance for a younger age group like my daughter. My 5 year old begs us to read these books to her and loves the projects. I highly recommend this book and others in the series for those who want their children to learn about nature and how to respect it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
beautiful series - I want to collect them all,
By Bugs Mama (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frogs, Toads & Turtles: Take Along Guide (Take Along Guides) (Paperback)
This is the first book we got in the Take-Along-Guide series and we love it and plan to collect them all. The illustrations are lovely (although I find photos easier for a true guide book) but the brief diet and habitat notes were perfect for my 4yr son. The size guide and ruler on the back of the book were great to help my son get a feel for the differences in the species. Great for young scientists and explorers (I would say 4-8yr). Older children and adults will probably want more info than this book provides.
I also recommend the One Small Square books by Donald M. Silver. [..]
