You can read my fuller review at Spoiled Milks (5/31/19).
The book revolves around the Pacific Northwest of the US, aka Cascadia: Washington, Oregon, the Alaskan panhandle, and Canada's British Columbia. The book organized in four sections: forest, beach, fresh water, and backyards, the four most accessible types of habitat kids can get to. Before Cohen moves into these sections, she gives some instructions to do before your kids get started.
When you go into nature, stay quiet and still. Use your senses, and look patiently for animals big and small.
Wear comfortable clothes so that you can stay comfortable during your foray into the wild.
Take care of the nature (pick up litter and don't feed the wildlife!).
Don't go alone.
Cohen writes about some of the common, everyday plants, animals, and fungi your kids will see. Some of the most common things can be the most interesting. The book can help them take a second (and third) look around at their surroundings.
Marni Fylling illustrated the book with precise detail. From mussels, to crabs, sea otters to moon jelly, blackbirds to yellow jackets, newts to beavers, the illustrations are of excellent quality. A paragraph or two (or sometimes three) is spent on many of the animals and facets of nature that kids and parents will find interesting.
The books ends with the four seasons of the year and the when different animals do their seasonal activities.

I can't comment on how accurate this book is since I've never lived in Cascadia.Still this book was pretty cool, though it doesn't include some of nature's more "beastly" animals like the moose, snakes, bears, wolves, cougars, wolverines, and non-beastly skunks. The kids who will get the most out of it will be those who live around these areas. However, if you know your child really enjoys reading about animals, no matter where those animals are from, then you should consider picking up this book.
