4 out of 5 stars Guide book   July 18, 2008
Same book I had as a kid 50 years ago. It was one of my favorites. Now my grandson has a copy.


5 out of 5 stars Another Great Golden Guide for Younger Naturalists   April 1, 2006
 5 out of 6 found this review helpful

The "Golden Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians" was another of the books in the Golden Guide series, edited by Herbert S. Zim, that influenced my early interest in natural history. The high quality color pictures, cheap price and handy size made this a natural for any youngster interested in the natural world. Certainly reptiles and amphibians are fascinating to many (if not all) kids of any age. The illustrations are, like many of those from the series, pretty well burned into my brain because I would sit for an hour just perusing the book, while reading about such exotic creatures as hook-nosed snakes, snapping turtles, collared lizards or spade-footed toads. This book expanded my interest in reptiles, which had been initiated by the Ditmar books ("Reptiles of the World" and "Snakes of the World" - both now outdated, but to my young eyes just wonderful books). I was , however, actually more influenced in my choice of a profession by books on insects and spiders and went on to become an invertebrate zoologist. Even so, I will still always fondly remember this neat little book and the fascinating information on cold-blooded land vertebrates that I acquired through its use.

A great starter book for kids interested in herpetology.

4 out of 5 stars A classic for young and old   May 19, 1999
 29 out of 31 found this review helpful

When I was a kid my uncle gave me a copy of this book and it opened up a world which still intrigues me...reptiles and amphibians. Even today I consult the book for info on some lizzard I don't recognize or to see if salamanders actually spend a lot of time out of water. In fact, I'm sharing it with my own nephew now--age 11--who's discovering this new world of life for himself. This book is well-presented and easy-to-use, as well as full of great illustrations that alone make it worth reading through. Profiles of each reptile and amphibian are thorough withough being overwhelmingly scientific. A timeless classic for young or old...one to share over the generations.
