In this survey of amphibians from the Strength in Numbers: Animal Groups series (6 titles), readers will meet northern red-legged frogs, salamanders, caecilians, and poison dart frogs. Each of these categories receives its own chapter, focusing on two specific species in the main text and highlighting others in smaller purple info boxes. Readers will learn interesting facts related to these creatures’ size, colors, group names, habitats, and life cycle, which are supported by excellent photos and illustrations, such as a life-cycle diagram and range map.
Thoughtfully chosen quotes, alternative perspectives on source material, fast facts, critical thinking exercises, and writing activities all boost opportunities for reader engagement. Younger readers can enjoy the essential facts, while the detailed information can foster a deeper
understanding of amphibians for older readers and future herpetologists.
