Book Reviews of Backyard Birds (Peterson Field Guides? for Young Naturalists)
Book Review: A Better Format ?
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this book for a seven year old and think I expected a format more similar to the standard Peterson guide, but obviously with fewer birds. I also felt that more birds could have been included --if a child can read, he can also take in a good bit of information, more than was included here. A pleasant booklet, though, but perhaps most suited to the child who has never really seen or thought about birds previously.

Featuring the original art of celebrated naturalist Roger Tory Peterson; incorporating the Peterson Identification System, the most effective method for bird identification; and using a straightforward design. This series makes field guides accessible and appealing to children. Roger Tory Peterson was the inventor of the modern field guide. Known as the father of modern bird watching, he has been called "the greatest conservationist who ever walked this planet" (ornithologist Chandler S. Robbins).

For his work, Dr. Peterson received every major award in the field of conservation; twenty-three honorary degrees from major universities; and the United States' highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal oNonfiction Books
