This review is from: A Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America (Paperback)

A friend, a doctor of biology, gave me this book and it reminds me of the many books I has like it at an early age. These books are a tremendous aid to young people, especially, as they begin their understanding of ecology and identification of animals in their area. I would highly recommend this book to any young person who expresses a desire to learn more about the creatures the encounter during their adventures.
