John Sill.
On each page, set in ample white space, is a simple sentence about amphibians and their habits ("Amphibians have soft, moist skin," "Most amphibians spend part of their lives in water"). On the facing page are realistic, detailed full-page paintings of amphibians in their natural habitats. The afterword includes additional information on the species pictured, but has a lackluster design.
