Review

This non-fiction, level-2 reader packs a lot of information into its 30 pages. The language and vocabulary would be a challenge for struggling readers, but it doesn't "dumb-down" the information about frogs. The photographs are stunning; you actually feel that the frogs might leap off the page. There is an index of photos, which is great as is the personal story and connection of Bishop to his subject (he actually raised some frogs so that he could photograph them). If you have students working on a report, or readers interested in amphibians, this is a great choice for a low cost.

Overall Book Score: very good
