Color your own field guide and make nature come alive.
Coloring your own field guide, from the delicate pink of a Roseate Spoonbill to the greenish brown of a Horseshoe Crab, is the most enjoyable way to learn about seashores. Each drawing is accompanied by a brief description that educates as it entertains. Place the new color stickers next to the drawings for a visual reference while you work. Coloring the drawings helps reinforce the image, shape, and colors of each organism, improving your memory and perception while offering a pleasant and easy way to learn. Fun for adults as well as children, beginning and experienced naturalists alike.

to learn. These books are suitable for any age or level of experience.
