Book Reviews of A Field Guide to Wildflowers : Northeastern and North-Central North America (Peterson Field Guides)
Book Review: Great help for class wildflower project
Summary: 4 Stars
This book really helped my son with his wildflower project for science class.
Many of the other books we checked out of the library were too complicated for him (and I) to use and were not detailed enough.
It is organized by flower color which made it easier to get a correct identification. The only down side is that all of the flowers are not pictured in color...some of them are drawn in black and white within a color family.
However, I would recommend this book as it was easy for my 8th grade son to use on his own for the project.
