Frog Song
Frogs from around the world are celebrated in this beautifully illustrated science book featuring eleven types of frogs. Unique characteristics of each species are emphasized: The male Darwin's frog from Chile tends the developing eggs - he keeps its eggs in his vocal sacs for 7 weeks "then he gives a big yawn, and little froglets pop out." Double-page illustrations and concise text combine for another winning collaboration from the team that created Life in the Boreal Forest (2009) Ages 5-8
