Great purchase for anyone who loves to be outside. Perfect to place near the grill but also perfect to keep from slipping (i.e. entrances prone to water, ice, snow, etc.). The material is heavy duty but it is still pliable. The design also makes them easier to wash/hose off.

This outdoor owl is a great piece of outdoor/garden decor that actually serves a good use at night! It comes with a small solar panel on the back that charges during the day, and lights up the white belly with a lovely orange light at night. I waited a bit to do this review because this weekend there was a torrential downpour - and the owl shrugged it off and still lights up just fine. The battery compartment on the bottom of the beast is held on by phillips screws, which then reveal a thick rubber layer and the battery underneath. It uses a standard 600 mAh AA nimh battery, which should be easy to replace should you want a battery with higher capacity. I placed my owl on an outdoor stairwell, and it fit perfectly on top of a standard 4x4 post. So my bird does double duty, keeps the squirrels out of the yard during the day, and makes for cute decor at night. Realise though, that the light is decorative and will not light your full porch or pathway for you. Recommended for us rural folk who want cute yet double duty garden friends! I received this owl decoration for free for my honest review.

My daughters and I LOVE this book. We are avid outdoor explorers and this book helps them see the beauty of nature that can be found in their own backyard.  The illustrations are all beautiful with plenty of little treasures to be found on each page. Well done!

Learning about the geography of our world is great for my son. He is in love with this book. It is exactly what my nature loving boy wants. He is having so much fun reading these books and looking at the pictures.

Perfect for nature hikes! I can attach it right to my hiking bag so we can gain quick access as needed without putting bag down, unzipping and getting it out.  We have collected quite a few specimens in to take home to examine more closely.

I love the Nature Conservancy card sets, and I'm particularly fond of the bird cards.  I'm an outdoor educator, and the card packet fits neatly in my vest pocket.  If we hear a bird, or see one but it flies away too quickly for all to see, I can pull out the appropriate card and pass it around.

An added plus is that there's a lot of good information on the back of the cards.  You can hold the card up and show it to the group, while reading from the text.

The only negative comment I have (and the reason for the 4 stars) is that there are a couple of common birds that are not included, like house finch, Baltimore oriole, and tree swallow.  Also, the pictures of the great horned owl and red-tailed hawk were not well chosen and are not typical of those birds.

These pillows are a great addition to a patio set. They aren't overly thick but very comfortable for outdoor lounging. The color is very rich and is as shown in the photos. The packaging is also beautiful. The pillow insert comes vacuum sealed so you'll need to cut it open and it will puff up a bit, but it's still not a very full pillow - which I think is perfect for the outdoor setting.

We used this for our vacation in national parks where there sometimes wasn't a picnic table free, or we wanted to picnic on the ground in a pretty spot. It worked perfect for our two kids (age 7 and 10) to sit on a blanket on the ground with it between them to eat on while my husband and I sat on a bench. The instructions are very specific about not sitting on it or exceeding the weight limit and we didn't, so I can't speak to any issues with broken hinges or legs. It held up perfect for our many uses.  We received many compliments about how 'cute' and 'perfect size' the table was.  It folds up very compactly and is lightweight in the carrying bag. I now leave it in my car for the kids to use at ballgames or other outdoor activities.  If/when it breaks I will definitely purchase it again.

I cannot compliment this book highly enough. I picked it up spontaneously in a store today and had to have it. As someone who loves nature and wants to learn more, but who doesn't understand a lot of the scientific, technical jargon that comes with "typical" nature books, this book is PERFECT. It gives you a ton of interesting facts, helpful hints for discovering nature on your own, plus beautiful artwork that makes it fun and exciting. I tore through the entire book on a long road trip home today and soaked in every detail. I can't wait to sit outside with this book tomorrow and learn new things about the nature that's literally in my own backyard. Thank you for this, Julia Rothman!

I love nature, and bugs are fascinating. I saw these in a boutique once, and fell in love. It wasn't until recently that I remembered them and checked for them on Amazon- voila! Here they are! And at a great price. These are beautiful and unique cards; perfect for thank-you's or just-because notes.

If you could only take one nature field guide this book is the one. I surprisingly found almost every plant, bird, insect, animal, ect, that I encountered, on a recent trip, in this book (some weren't even listed in the dedicated guides). The book also has sections on topography, geology, habitats, astronomy, weather and conservation.

It is beautifully put together with sharp, clear color photography. I don't know how they managed to get so much in this pocket guide. It's another wonderful book by Knopf and a great gift for nature lovers and hikers (No, I don't know or work for the publisher). I'm only on this site to buy another copy for a friend. Enjoy!

I love this book. Another way to ID trees not just leaves. Definitely a nice gift for a nature person.

The vibrant pictures in this beautiful book demonstrate multiple ways children can have fun outdoors. I'm glad to have this book for the Enjoying Outdoor Fun with Your Kids recipes included. Thank you for sharing your family with us!

I bought this for a Christmas gift and instantly wanted to keep it for myself when it arrived. Good quality, totally functional and the perfect size, not too bulky but roomy enough to carry a lot of stuff. I love that they are environmentally / animal friendly. Great design, cute but appropriate for adults.
My sister, the gift recipient, loves it too and said it was the best gift she got for Xmas. Looking forward to getting other styles / prints.

A Xmas gift that was thoroughly enjoyed by my husband, who loves nature and natural history. He has shared it with his friends.
