Introduces various kinds of amphibians, describing their physiology, behavior, habitats, and life cycles

Grade 2-5-The large, full-color photographs and illustrations that pepper every page of these books will catch the eye of browsers but it is the informative, easy-to-read texts that will hold their interest. Both titles contain basic facts about the animals as a group and identify specific members. They also relate information on the "family trees," bodies, and habitats of these creatures. While there is not enough information for reports on an individual animal, children can use these titles to research these groups of creatures. Dimensions are provided in both English and metric measurements. Although Barry Clarke's Amphibian (1993) and Colin McCarthy's Reptile (1991, both Knopf) are better illustrated, the language and organization of Kalman and Langille's titles will draw even the most reluctant of readers.

Taken from Chapter 5: Super skin Some amphibians have skin that secretes, or gives off, a poison. The poison often has a bad taste and smell. If a predator bites into one fo these amphibians, it gets a terrible taste in its mouth and releases the animal.
