From tiny, colorful tree frogs to the giant salamanders that burrow along the riverbanks of Japan, there are more than 7,000 amphibian species living on our planet today.
A True Book: Animal Kingdom series introduces young investigative readers to animal species, their habitats, unique abilities as well as an up-close look at the dangers these animals face today and find out how humans can help keep all animal species from disappearing forever. This series includes an age appropriate (grades 3-5) introduction to curriculum-relevant subjects and a robust resource section that encourages independent study.
Readers will discover how these incredible animals live double lives, spending time both on land and underwater. They will also find out how amphibians search for food and reproduce, as well as what dangers are facing these species today.

Gr 2-5-These comprehensive titles are expertly written. Readers are initially asked two true or false questions and are directed to find the answers in the book. Answers are given in the back. The font is large, and sentences are relatively short. Maps and lifecycle diagrams are included among the images. A "True Statistics" section at the end of every volume sums up interesting facts. For example, readers learn that the saltwater crocodile is the world's heaviest reptile, and that the Goliath frog is the largest frog. Threats to the animals' survival are mentioned in a section called "The Big Truth." For example, in Birds, students learn that oil spills are devastating to seabirds. The books are loaded with big, colorful, and captioned photographs. Sound choices for report writing and pleasure reading. α(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journal.
