Summary: A GREAT LITTLE BOOK

Summary: The best pocket field guide for trees available
Review: I have a "Master Tree Finder" booklet copyrighted in 1963 that I use to teach Boy Scouts how to identify trees. It was passed down to me from my mom. I was delighted to hear that the bok is still available and that there are other titles in the series. The dichotomus key is the most effective tool for making identifications. I also believe in teaching the boys how to use the book (and other guides) to identify plants and animals instead of just memorizing from rote. The names of those trees will eventualy fade. But the skills to identify a tree with a good guide will last a lifetime.

Summary: Tree Finder - it does just that!
Review: I have successfully used the Tree Finder with students as young as 3rd grade (with some help). My 6th grade classes and high school classes were able to use it independently. Its' simple, straightforward approach is a fantastic introduction to using a key. The diagrams are a big help for the student unfamiliar with the vocabulary. The only weakness is that it doesn't cover some cultivated varieties, ie. thornless, so some coaching is necessary when using in a typical park or residential setting.

Summary: The title says it all
Review: I took a class about tree identification several years ago at Morton's Arboretum near Chicago and this book was used as part of the class. I really love this little book. I have several of the fancier (and more expensive) books with color plates and photos, but for identifying trees this one is the best. Based on the tree's leaves it very clearly walks you through the identifation process step by step.If you want to read more about the tree once you have identified it, the other guides are great. But for purposes of tree identification, this is the best I have seen.

Summary: The best guide for Tree ID - but not for young children
Review: I tried using this guide with my fourth graders, but gave up after a while; I would have had to spend more time than I had to teach them how to use it. However, for older readers (and not much older, either), this is the best!
