Review

An appealing and informative book all about frogs. The text is well written, age appropriate, and interesting and goes well with the colorful photographs that are well placed and further the text. The life cycle of the frog is explained, behaviors, habitats, sounds, senses, unique adaptations, hibernation and foods are all covered. Different groups of amphibians are introduced. Common frogs of temperate regions are identified accompanied by photographs including Leopard frogs, Bullfrogs, Wood frogs, Darwin frogs, Poison dart frogs and Amazon horned frogs. Some toads include American toads, Midwife toad and Fire-bellied toads. Ecological changes that threaten frog populations are introduced as well as the roles frog play in the balance of nature. Includes author's note, glossary, index and read more about it. Very readable, useful for reports or just to enjoy.

Overall Book Score: very good
