Sylvia Goulding. Thomson Learning, $14.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-1-56847-311-6

Thomson Learning's Tracker Packs make it easy for young naturalists to do their field work-these identification guides are published as small ringbound notebooks; attached are sturdy straps that can be slung around a shoulder. Within, captioned photos and drawings show would-be explorers what to look for, while tracking tips tell them where and how. Tabbed dividers speed up information searches. The two volumes are Birds by Rob Hume and Nature by Sylvia Goulding, both illustrated by Maxine Hamil ($17.95 each, 96p, ages 11-14 ISBN 1-56847-311-7; -312-5 Sept.).
