My Review
Jake's Nature Guide is a great pocket-sized guide that gives you a
variety of information about the flora and fauna you may come across as
you hike through the Rocky Mountains. I've never been to the Rockies,
and I don't know if I'll ever get to go, but if I do, this guide will
definitely be in my hand and ready to go.
I let my two year old browse through the guide, but he wasn't too interested in it while I was reading it. My ten year old, though, found it fascinating, and he liked the fun facts provided by Jake the dog. I definitely enjoyed learning some new things, especially about the animals that tend to be found around the area. I love animals, and learning new facts about them was great!
I'd definitely recommend Jake's Nature Guide for anyone who enjoys hiking, anyone who enjoys learning new things, and any parent who wants to get their kids more interested in nature rather than, say, video games. 5 stars!
