Australian Frogs and Reptiles

Children's Literature

The contents of this book ranges from frogs to reptiles to crocodiles to turtles to lizards to snakes. The categories are broken down by type and include important information about each. The photographs are fantastic and contain information along with them. A child will see these very real, up-close, pictures of the creatures. The text on each page is double- spaced for easy reading and holds just enough information for younger children to absorb. An index of the animal pictures and a further reading and Internet sites increases the book's material. This book should expand the young researcher's world of interest and knowledge. Everyone gets an education on this wildlife in Australia. The book is part of the "Nature Kids" series. It is another must-buy for libraries and schools. Many children will probably choose it for personal purchase when they see the attractive cover format. 2003, Mason Crest Publishers,
