(3) K-3 Disgusting Critters series. This humorous, informative volume gives basic facts about toads, including clarification about frogs: "The toad is a type of frog... Toads are frogs that live on land and have drier skin, shorter legs, and stouter bodies." Cartoon illustrations and zany speech-bubble text (re: habitat, "Some live in water, some in trees... 'Some live in your bed! Ha ha, just kidding'") play up the kid-friendly silliness.
