Young nature enthusiasts will learn these and other fascinating facts about amphibians in this colorful, interactive resource. Readers will explore the major amphibian groups—frogs, salamanders, and caecilians— including their anatomy, behavior, and conservation needs, and will learn about slime, venom, hibernation, and much more. Amazing Amphibians gives a full-color overview of amphibian life history, highlights a number of fascinating species, and explains characteristics of amphibians, such as egg-laying, metamorphosis, and ectothermy. With encouragement to “Try This,” “Look For,” and “Listen For,” kids participate in 30 hands-on activities that promote observation and analysis, writing and drawing, math and science, and nature literacy skills. This useful resource includes a glossary of scientific terms, a list of amphibian orders, and a teacher’s guide to initiate classroom discussion. Did you know . . . Goliath frogs can grow to 6½ pounds and jump 10 feet in a single leap? The mudpuppy, a species of salamander, gets its name from the doglike barking sound it makes when out of the water? The North American wood frog can survive brutal winters, even after it has frozen solid?
