Quick Reference to Mammals of Eastern Canada

Handy fold-out 12 panel nature guide featuring 85 common and interesting species of mammals of Eastern Canada; includes size and range, along with identification tips.

From the back cover:

Mammals are organized using the colour scheme and page numbers below.

Note from Little Lamb:

The back cover is laid out very well with what page to check for different types of mammals to save you time searching.  Hoofed Mammals can be found on page 1, Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises start on Page 1, Carnivores start on Page 3, Rodents on Page 6, Rabbits and Hares on Page 8, Bats on page 9 and Insectivores on Page 10.  There is also a note that illustrations show adult mammals in summer (with the exception of the Arctic Hare).  Markings and colour may vary seasonally for some species.  Measurements denote length, height (where appropriate) and weight.

From Little Lamb:

This is a very thin lightweight guide easy to throw in a backpack or purse or perhaps a large pocket.  Quite durable and should withstand reasonable wear and tear while out on adventures.  Being specific to Eastern Canada, instead of all of North America, is a nice perk.  Lone Pine produces a great number of very handy guides regarding the outdoors and gardening in Canada, often with province specific guides and books for easy reference.  Great resources for teaching children more about various outdoor topics, such as animal and plant identification, recognizing what animal or bird made that track, and gardening.  I grew up with many Lone Pine books around the house and I'm now happy to share them with others.  Very informative and interesting for all ages, even the littlest ones will likely enjoy the beautiful pictures.
