I found the book to be well written and beautifully illustrated. A child would easily regonize the animal or bird by it's picture, and could then use the binoculars to learn more. Yes, it's best an adult helped out the first time, but my 5 yr old grand daughter picked up on the idea of binoculars right away. ("2 eyes can look in, instead of a camera where you can only use one eye, Gran'ma!")
