Combining 50 individually die-cut cards with
full-color illustrations, plus hundreds of intriguing facts,
stories, statistics, and trivia, Fandex is the newest
breakthrough in information-packed, family publishing. First
recommended to me by a dear friend, this wonderfully handy,
hinged card deck is the
easiest and most foolproof tree identification guide available.
She suggested that my kids would love it---which they do---but
they have a hard time getting it out of Dad's hands! Four visual keys display the leaf
(in an unforgettable die-cut shape), bark pattern,
distinguishing flower, seed or nut, and photo of each tree. The
bite-sized descriptions of height, shape, habitat, and more combine
to give a complete picture of North America's forest and
backyard trees. Additionally, you'll be guided through the cultural history
of trees to gain fascinating insights into species like the White Ash, as useful for
Native American bows as for the powerful bats of our national
pastime. Comes inside a clear plastic sleeve.
