Editorial Reviews

"We have had a blast hiking and hovering over plants to determine if they are in our pocket guide…The children have claimed the Camping 101 Duraguide. It is the first thing they now pull out when we arrive at camp."

Mommy's Memorandum - Julee Morrison

"Pocket Naturalist Guides are to nature-loving backpackers what CliffsNotes are to teens trying to navigate Shakespeare: essential."  —Backpacker Magazine
