Incredible Amphibians

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This series focuses on a variety of weird and wonderful creatures from each animal group and how they have adapted to their environments. Basic characteristics and behaviours of each group are explored, including feeding and hunting habits, and then animals that deviate from the norm are highlighted. Gripping real-life animal stories illustrate how animals are in danger from human activities and what needs to be done to protect them and their environment.

Horn Book Review

An overview of the varied worlds of reptiles and amphibians are provided through photographs, fact boxes, and text highlighting many unusual species. While not in-depth enough for reports on a particular animal, this is an appealing overview, including feeding, life cycle, body types, and environmental dangers. ""Wild Words,"" a mini-glossary on each page, will be helpful to readers. Reading list. Glos., ind.
