Durable and portable, it's just right for your pocket or backpack!

These field guides are filled with vibrant and intriguing pictures of subjects covered, and includes loads of fun facts, spotting tips, "Laugh Out Loud" jokes, possible dangers to be aware of, and so much more.

Each book, taking a secular approach, covers a different branch of study and is divided into main categories by type or species. A great way to get to know the nature and wildlife around you with travel-sized guides.
