Although a children's book, I found it very interesting and informative as an adult. At the very least, the illustrations were beautiful and the book serves as a crash course in identifying animal tracks. My favorite portion of the book, and the reason why I bought it, was the life-size track illustrations.
I wouldn't suggest it to most adults for joy reading (I bought it partially because it was significantly on clearance), but if someone has a child that is particularly interested in an...more

Great beginning book about reading animal tracks from a nature enthusiast, Jim Arnosky, who has been keeping wildlife journals, including drawings of animal tracks, since he was a boy. Beautiful illustrations and actual-size pull-out pages of tracks as well as descriptions of what the small and large animal tracks can tell you about the animal. Would be a great addition to the family library reference section.
we've gotten this one a few times & am surprised I never rated it...Great life size animal tracks & detailed drawing & descriptions for tracking animals...we all enjoy it & learned something & bring something new away every time.

The artwork, both of the animals and the animal tracks, is superbly executed. The information is fascinating and the life-size tracks and the pull-out pages are winners!
This was my November book for my Kids' Explore Non-Fiction Book Club. Was lot's of fun.
This has very realistic and true to size animal tracks, it's a keeper!
Love this man! Everything he does is awesome!

Very informative with clear pictures and advice on how to follow tracks.
Informative picture book for those wishing to identify tracks; has life-sized drawings of tracks as well as smaller drawings of track patterns and description of wildlife. Arnosky's books are generally very good.
Huge fold out pages with life-sized footprints! The bear tracks are intimidating and the porcupine tracks are adorable. Domestic felines and canines are included for comparison.
Nicely illustrated; fold-out pages reveal life-size footprints of various animals. Text is limited to information about the animals' feet, gait, track patterns, etc.
This is informative, fun, visual and the fold-out pages have life-size prints!
Great primer for our elementary school school trackers.
A very informative beginners guide to identifying wild animals.
