About This Book

In this nonfiction picture book, children learn about the exciting world of frogs and toads, amphibians who start their lives as tailed tadpoles, tiny as a fingertip. As these fascinating creatures grow, they lose their tails, develop legs, climb trees, and learn to catch flies! They can also become as large as a grown-up's foot. Explanations are given in simple language ideal for beginning readers, and are accompanied by energetic cut-paper illustrations of frogs in every color, size, and shape imaginable.
