Jenkins and Page explain the basic biology of frogs, using a well-chosen collection of both representative and unique species. On each double-page spread, a key topic (anatomy, behavior, reproduction, etc.) is introduced in a brief, informative paragraph. Then a nicely designed balance of colorful, detailed cut-paper illustrations and friendly text expands on the concept. An appended table lists facts and figures for each species presented, including size, diet, and habitat. Reading list, websites.
