Frogs and Toads

by Whitecap Books, David Kirshner (Illustrator)

Have you ever kept tadpoles and watched them grow into frogs or toads? It's fascinating to see how they absorb their tail and grow legs. This book is full of amazing information about how this happens and much, much more. It introduces you to frogs that hide so cleverly from their predators that they look like bird droppings. You'll meet the world's largest frog (it's as big as a human baby!) and a frog that's only the size of your fingernail. Learn how to make different frog calls, and find out how to keep a Gokiath frog in your bathroom!
