If you're looking for an accurately-colored, beautiful companion to your wildflower walks, this is the "book." It can be a bit awkward on long hikes, but children love to carry it.

My 7 year old daughter received this as a christmas gifts. The pictures are beautiful and the facts are interesting. She can't wait for spring when we can go wildflower hunting and identifying together :-) My 5-year old boy (on the other hand), shows no interest in flowers... go figure ;-)

Each color card is cut to the shape of a different wildflower. Like having a bouquet that never goes brown. Should have been scratch-n-sniff!
