 Not your father's Peterson Guide January 12, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I mistakenly thought that the large print version would be the same as my trusted old Peterson Guide, just in large print. Nope! The format is entirely different and greatly abbreviated. It's misleading to title this text the same as the original. This may be a nice guide for a novice bird watcher for bird feeder identification. I gave my copy away to a shut-in with minimal bird identifying experience.
 Misrepresentation June 25, 2006

This book was bundled with another bird book, and the offer appeared directly under the Peterson Field Guide book, which I thought I was ordering. It was not very obvious in the small thumbnail image and description that it was a child's coloring book. I did not get what I wanted and have since returned it.
Perfect book for the older birder January 30, 2006

I purchased this book for my mother, who is in her 70s. She recently started birding so this was her first field guide-easy to read, large pictures make identification very easy for the beginning birder of any age.
 The first and the best September 30, 2004

Peterson first published his revolutionary field guide in 1925, and ever since it has been the trusty companion of amateur and advanced birder alike. The popularity of his field guide was based on the system that he devised whereby he included coloured plates of each bird, and noted key identifying features of each bird, thus allowing the birder to make quick and confident identifications. The system is not fool-proof, of course, as some species closely resemble one another, but oversall, the tricks one learns from the Peterson field guide provides an excellent foundation for the aspiring birder. A number of other guides have come along, but I still find this one more than suitable, and therefore the one that I continue to rely on.
Simply the best bird book for the backyard bird lover in MI September 26, 2002

This book is great. It gives you detailed pictures, silhoutte shapes and habitat areas. As a complete moron when it comes to bird identity, this book is very helpful.
