Waterford Press sent me over a selection of their really cool pocket guides for review. Since this is Texas Kitchen naturally I received four guides about Texas. I love love love these guides.

Texas Butterflies and Moths is the perfect pocket-sized, folding guide for the nature enthusiast. This beautifully illustrated guide highlights over 70 familiar species of butterflies and moths. If y'all are like me. You see a really pretty butterfly or moth you have never seen before and you want to learn more about it. Where to start? What butterfly is it anyway? With Waterford s guide you can see exactly which butterfly or moth yours is. The beautiful full color illustrations show not only butterflies and moths but caterpillars and pupae as well. How cool
Texas Wildlife

Illustrations: Raymond Leung
Texas Wildlife is the perfect pocket-sized, folding guide for the nature enthusiast. This beautifully illustrated guide highlights over 140 familiar species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, insects and butterflies, fishes and includes a map featuring prominent state-wide wildlife sanctuaries. This one is super cool. I actually found several species of animals in the guide that I have not seen before. Mom and I were coming from town the other day and saw and animal crossing the highway that we could not identify. She thought it was a nutria I was not driving so I got a better look at it. I decided it was a raccoon that had a serious defect (or had maybe escaped a nuclear facility lol) I actually got the Waterford guides in the mail the next day and we were able to see it was actually a white-nosed coati. This is an animal I had not been aware of before. I guess you never do stop learning. I can see these guides are going to be super useful.

Texas Trees and Wildflowers is the perfect pocket-sized, folding guide to familiar trees, shrubs and wildflowers. This beautifully illustrated guide highlights over 140 familiar species and includes a map featuring prominent state-wide botanical sanctuaries.
