Frogs and Toads

Children's Literature - Marilyn Bagel

The color coordinated Costa Rican red-eyed leaf frog on the cover actually looks like it hails from New York's garment district. This dashing creature is just a sample of the host of unusual hoppers that are depicted in all their glorious sizes and shapes, coloration, and unconventional habits. Part of the "Weird and Wonderful" series, this book features dazzling color photos of unusual frogs and toads in all their glory, from the Goliath frog, the world's largest, to the gliding frog, which would be more aptly named the Tarzan frog because it glides from tree to tree. There is also a glossary of terms. Give this book four "ribbets".
