Nic Bishop’s Frogs takes the reader all over the world to look at the different types of frogs he has studied and beautifully photographed. This adventure is both informative and fascinating. Frogs is a great book for a young boy 5-8 years-old (even my 2 year old was captivated by the bright pictures). It is filled with fun and interesting facts about frogs. For instance, some frogs are only as big as your pinky nail, while others are as big as a newborn baby! He sorts out the differences between frogs and toads and explains why frogs are called amphibians. Several pictures reveal frogs in their habitat, some in motion, others developing, and a few devouring prey. My favorite is the red-eye tree frog – what amazing colors!
Frogs is a 2009-2010 Texas Bluebonnet Book and is on the ALSC Notable Children's Book list.
