An Instant Guide to Trees

by Eleanor Lawrence, Cecilia Fitzsimons

An Instant Guide to Trees is an ideal compact identification guide to trees commonly seen in gardens, parks, and in the countryside.
This user-friendly guide assumes no previous an easy-to-follow system of color-coded bands and symbols (denoting different leaf shapes) leads quickly to the correct section of the book. Detailed, full-color illustrations of leaves, shape of tree, fruit and flowers, plus a concise but informative text, make it easy to identify positively nearly 200 trees found in North America. "Lookalike" panels help prevent confusion between trees of similar appearance.

Good pictures of the leaves, but no bark illustrations.

I'm not sure if I ever actually did a leaf collection, but I remember this book being in my parents' house. I know that I looked at it because when I picked it up today, I remembered the cover, layout, and illustrations / photographs. I know my sister did a leaf collection in high school, but I did not have to do one. It is possible that I did have to a less complex project in fifth grade, or maybe as part of a Girl Scouts badge?
