A nice size to carry around and some good information. The information is set out in sections of flowers, plants, mushrooms, etc which makes things easy to find. It would be handy to perhaps have a section of seasons and when to look out for the things shown in the book so you can find at a glance in the season you are in? I also thought it would be handy to have info on "lookalike" plants / flowers that can possibly be harmful or state that there are no lookalikes (they do with the mushrooms). Overall, we have found the book useful but I would always do research on different sources just to make sure we are foraging the right things. :) ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.
