I received this book from a thoughtful, loving, and dear kindred spirit of a friend and while it is being marketed as a children's book, I found that it was just as wonderful as an animal lover's or even a conservationists' (organic-free trade-decaffeinated) coffee table book. Nic Bishop's up close and personal photography is beyond any Life Magazine or National Geo quality color photos. Sy Montgomery's writing takes the reader along on the expedition with all the science, language and even a bit of humor provided in part by the guides. Montgomery has created a fun book for kids and adults alike! A great gift for high school graduates to inspire them to follow their dreams and passions. For kid's, this would make a cake science report book!

very informative book, great condition, shipped fast! thanks
would recommend this book AND seller!
my daughter enjoyed it, and wants a tree kangaroo for herself!
The Roger WIlliams zoo in this book was unavailable to speak to however!

This is a spectacular book. It is exciting and intriguing and the photography is awesome. I read this book while taking a Children's Literature class and instantly changed my mind about non-fiction literature. This book would definitely hold kid's attention. It is fantastic! I will definitely be purchasing more Scientists in the Field Series.

the photos are great, i just wish there were more. i am not very interested in the human beings that performed the research, and wish there was more about the animals...
