Frogs

Throats croak ... Springy legs leap ... Meet the frog! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these agile amphibians. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animals' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while an American Indian legend about the frog adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
