A strawberry poison frog's growth from tadpole to mature adult provides an excuse to introduce the exotic creatures and setting of a Costa Rican rainforest in words and lush, detailed illustrations. A double-page picture glossary foldout summarizes and identifies flora and fauna. A note explains that La Selva is a biological research station run by the Organization for Tropical Studies.
