This is a good book for all
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
We all enjoy the book. I liked to know what to do about the insects in our garden. Turns out most of the insects are just fine and no threat to any plants. Our kids like the book to just snoop around and be able to learn more while having fun.
A refreshing new approach

The book is a refreshing approach that combines gardening and natural history. I like the balance. A useful guide but also a good read on its own. The best part is having a book written about the prairies by authors who garden on the prairies. Too many books miss the mark for our region but this one is on target for the insect questions I've had. I hope more garden writers in our region pick up the torch as this book does.
Good Balance

It's great to find a book that is actually of practical use. I like the mix of gardening info and Nature info. I've already identified a few critters in the garden and figured out which ones (there was only one) to keep an eye on for problems. The illustrations are top-notch. I like books that aren't dumbed-down but the average gardener can still use. I hope there are more books written by people who garden in our climate and don't just rehash info that is more relevant to warmer zones.
The Prairie Gardeners Book of Bugs - An Excellent Book!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Everyone who gardens, especially those who live in the prairies of Canada or the Northern USA, should read this book!It not only has great information about entomology and the individual bugs but also details about how to live with them. The illustrations are wonderful too!As a teacher, I suggest that it would make an excellent resource for school libraries as well because it's not only dry facts but is written in a manner that is easy and fun to read....
