4.0 out of 5 stars An In-Depth Look at North Carolina Wildlife, July 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: North Carolina Wild Places: A Closer Look (Paperback)

This wonderful look at the wildlife and habitats of the Tar Heel State by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is a helpful guide for both children and adults. The book is very well organized into chapters that deal with general information about wildlife and habitats, and then chapters about each of the unique regions of the state and the critters that reside there. The authors also describe critical problems for the different habitats and ways to help. Illustrator Anne Marshall Runyon artistically depicts the habitats in color and black and white drawings. The drawings are accompanied by a numbered list identifying plants and animals in it. I would definitely recommend this book for parents and teachers as they invoke an appreciation of nature with children. However, this book is a challenging read with very tough vocabulary for children. (In the introduction it suggests children age 13 and older reading it, not ages 9-12 as the Amazon book description states.) In all, it is a super overview of the wildlife in the state and great resource for all.
