Got this through interlibrary loan to show the big photographs to Natalie. They are very awesome. For Natalie, I mostly focused on the big photographs of the green and bright colored frogs, but there were lots of other pictures as well. Seems like an awesome book, so I don't know why so few people have read it. However, this wasn't the book I was actually looking for when I requested it.
