This book has a really interesting take on nature! Every other page spread is a high quality picture of a scene you would normally see in a forest. There are some of the forest floor, or tree tops, or the forest at night. The next page spread is a full field journal that explains everything going on in the picture before, bolding the names of animals in the image. The field journal also explains each of the animals. It tells about them, and when and where you are most likely to find them.
The book is very heavy on text. In the field journals, the text takes up the entire two page spread. But the pictures are amazing. I would have this in a classroom of any age just for the pictures. Younger grades don't need to know that what they're looking at isn't just a caterpillar but a orange-striped oakworm caterpillar. It would be a great addition to the classroom when talking about any animals or insects in science.
