Amazing photographs combined with kid friendly text on all types of frogs. While a great deal of information is shared, the use of varied type size and color helps to break up the text making it less daunting for young readers. Really neat 2 page spread where the author shares how he researched the topic, prepared to take photos, and some of his favorite moments when writing the book. Includes index, glossary. (

This book gives lots of information on all the different types of frogs around. Talks about the different colors of frogs as well as their different skin types.

This nonfiction book about frogs features full-color photographs and detailed text of frogs from all over the world. This book would be a great resource for an intermediate student to use on a research project about frogs. (

Overall the book was good! It had very good information which was sequenced well. I feel like it broke down things in super simple terms and had a lot of good information! The pictures were super nice too. (

This book is a great book to help build background knowledge for students. Each page goes into detail about different types of frogs and their habitats. The story then goes on to explain the different stages of a frog's life cycle and even includes a glossary at the end.
