Frogs can jump thirty times their own body
length, catch insects on the wing, and breathe underwater or on land. But
they must always keep their skins wet. Find out why in this newly
re-illustrated book.
REVIEWS
"This volume from the Let's Read-and-Find-Out Science series, first
published in 1968, clearly presents basic information about the physical
characteristics, evolution, and behavior of frogs. Minor changes make the
text more precise and inclusive. A two page appendix entitled "What
do frog eggs feel like?" is a new addition. The moist striking change
comes in the new illustrations: Fraser's well-composed and beautifully
colored acrylic paintings add immeasurably to the overall look of the
book, increasing its eye appeal as well as its educational value. A fine
choice for primary-grade collections."
