A small pocket guide that gives the basic information about many of the mammal species of North America. It is an older book so some of the information is dated but works as a great introduction to mammals for kids and adults. Still a good field good for finding a general idea of what type of mammal you saw.

As kids back in the 1950s and 1960s, we had all the major Golden Nature guides of Herbert Zim fame. We would sometimes take them along on family vacations "out west" to help us identify creatures we encountered. I do not recall how much use this particular Mammals guide received. However, like the other such Guides, it has beautiful, colored illustrations, useful notes on natural history, and small maps to show geographical distributions. It's a bit hard to part with, but maybe someone else may find a use for it.… (mais)

Very basic. It is geared towards kids, and as a kid, I probably pored over this one.
