Reviews
“The six books in this truly outstanding series of nature books for beginning readers are extremely well written and superbly illustrated. Each book gives a good description of the unique features of the anatomy, life history and development of the animal mentioned in the title, as well as of its economic importance.” (Science Books & Films)
Behind the Book
“I had a lot of fun researching this book, but whittling all the information down to 1,500 words was a real challenge. I had to really understand what makes amphibians unique, though the book also describes some of the most interesting extremes.”
