All about salamanders by Marcus, Eldon, and Peter
(for our nature notebooks.)
The biggest ones are five feet.
They can breathe underwater if they have gills. They all breathe through their pores (skin).
They come from eggs- 30 days later they hatch. They live in the water until they grow legs; then they can go on land.
The tiger salamander is the state amphibian of Kansas.
They like to eat cricket and insects and worms. Some eat other salamanders.
They are shy- they like to hide.
Some are poisonous.
Salamanders are eaten by snakes, frogs, and birds, and sometimes people.
Most have 4 toes on front legs and 5 on their rear legs.

Easy & Quick Read on the Subject of Salamanders
Picked this one up for the kids since they own two Tiger salamanders. It is an okay book for a basic overview - good pictures and we got to see some different kinds that we hadn't hear of.
