Summary
A fun, fact-filled dive into the world of frogs and amphibians for kids - packed full of beautiful photography. All the basics of reptile and amphibian anatomy are covered in this beautiful and informative book on frogs, along with habitat and behaviour and lots of fascinating facts about frogs that every child will just love reading about. See how they survive in lakes and rivers, forests and deserts, and how these clever creatures have adapted to live in seemingly inhospitable habitats. Alongside, in between, and on top of all that, Everything You Need To Know About Frogs also provides ideas for things to make, games to play, quizzes, and amazing facts to share with friends. Every spread is self contained to make this a dip-into book with a difference. From the very first page it combines little-known information with engaging text and innovative, high-quality design. It's everything you need to know, and everything you WANT to find out
