Great book for child learning to identify by leaves,
By Kim (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tree Finder: A Manual for Identification of Trees by Their Leaves (Eastern Us) (Paperback)
My 7 yr old loves to look through this book while we go on nature hikes...yes in NJ! As a prior reviewer stated there are no illustrations of the whole tree - just the leaves. For my child's age and curiosity it works very well.

Easy to use,
By paisleymonsoon (Tulsa, Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tree Finder: A Manual for Identification of Trees by Their Leaves (Eastern Us) (Paperback)
This is the easiest tree finder book out there. Not only are the pictures very clear, but the questions that allow you to narrow down the tree type are very clear. This book is also small, so it's easy to bring with you when hiking so you can just whip it out when you see an interesting tree. This is the book that led to my profound curiosity and love of trees. Too bad I lent my copy to someone who took it back with her to Korea!

Only leaf illustrations in this one,
By BamaBuilder (Montgomery, AL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tree Finder: A Manual for Identification of Trees by Their Leaves (Eastern Us) (Paperback)
Neat book if you need to know what the leaves of a particular tree look like, but that's it. There's no photos, only illustrations, and no illustrations of the shape of the tree or its height, just the leaves themselves. It's a cute illustration job, but unless you need to know about the leaves, I would pass this one by, and even if you think you've narrowed down which tree it is by the leaves, how can be sure that it's the same tree if there are no illustrations of the trees themselves? Probably a good book to sell in a gift shop to give a curious kid.
