After buying the "Golden Guide to Insects" in the 1950s I eagerly awaited new titles in the series. The followed in fairly rapid succession- Birds, Reptiles and Amphibians, Trees, Fish, Mammals, etc. All had some merit, but I was especially enamored (after the insect guide) of Zim's "Golden Guide to Wildflowers." Incomplete as it was and is, it is a solid beginning for any natural history oriented youngster. The illustrations were fascinating to me and I remember some of them to this day, especially orchids, Indian paintbrush, violets, and sunflowers.

You could not give a kid interested in natural history a better book at the price. It will lead them on into the wonder of living things and make them observant in ways few people are. A person fascinated by plants, birds or insects will always find something of interest no matter where they go.

This is a small field book that is well organized to allow you to find the flowers you are looking for. Principally, it is organized by color.

A great little reference book on wildflowers. It is not exhaustive, but it does cover the major types of flowers and gives great illustrations.

This little book is full of all the wonderful wildflowers you will encounter on your walks in the woods or around your neighborhood. Very helpful information and small enough to easily carry along!
