Woodland in Your Pocket: A Guide to Common Woodland Plants of the Midwest (Bur Oak Guide)

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful guide
Review: I bought this guide at the Living History Farms gift shop in Des Moines and was pleasantly surprised to learn it was published in my hometown. This is a portable, durable, beautifully illustrated guide to identifying some of the most common woodland plants of the Midwest. My family has taken this guide along on outings, and we have found it a very helpful way to connect with our natural surroundings. My pre-teen daughter especially has enjoyed closely examining the plants we encounter to see if they match up with the examples in the guide. This guide is probably most useful in the spring, when most woodland plants are in bloom. Also recommend *Prairie in Your Pocket* by the same illustrator.
