Title: Neat and tidy guide
Review: The Peterson Trsts are a great series. The pictures are color illistrations, with just enough text. Possible rejected as a children’s book would be a huge mistake.

Title: Mininamlist
Review: If you want a guide with the bare minimum to identify herps of North America buy this. If you want the more comprehensive option you should buy the other Peterson guide thatâs about $5.00 more expensive. If you want a quick guide with minimal info get this. Otherwise get the other one.

Title:
Review: livret anglophone broché souple format poche de 1992; après 5 pages d’introduction sur les reptiles et amphibiens nord-américains, l’ouvrage décrit 183 espèces courantes (25 salamandres et tritons; 43 grenouilles et crapauds, 2 crocodiliens, 24 tortues terrestres et marines, 39 lézards et 50 serpents; 1 à 4 espèces par double page) avec un court article non systématisé à gauche illustré par un dessin couleur sur la page d’en face à droite indiquant les points clés d’identification; pas de carte de répartition; index à la fin; ce très joli petit guide micro-format destiné aux débutants nord-américains s’avérera vite insuffisant, même sur le terrain, il devra immanquablement être complété par un guide compact plus complet; pour la bibliothèque on préférera une encyclopédie plus complète
