 SYNOPSIS
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."
