Overview / 简介: |
You’re two inches away from a poison dart frog. You’re lying on the rain forest floor as she hops toward you, utterly fearless. This deadly terribilis frog has nothing to fear; your fear is that any accidental contact with your skin could mean death!
Let Mark Moffett give you the expert view on our amphibian friends, from metamorphosis to diet, from habitat to distinctive features; and learn why we urgently need to foster a healthier planet for these sensitive creatures. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Too many science books for kids condescend to their readers, droning on and on with a never-ending list of dry facts. Not this one. The author is obviously a frog lover, and his passion for the creatures rubs off on readers. Mostly written in the first person, his book transports its readers into rain forests around the world, and truly does get "face to face" with dozens of frogs.
Amazon says this book is for kids ages 4 to 8, but I would extend it on up to adults. I learned a lot! For example, I didn't know a poison dart frog mom was a good parent. She carries a tadpole on her back up a tree and gently deposits it into a bromeliad pool. She takes each of her 20 tadpoles to a different spot. Then she visits each of them once a day to feed them an unfertilized egg -- an omelet -- until they transform into tiny frogs.
The first 25 pages are filled with stories like this. The last five offer ideas on how to study frogs, tips on how to help them and some fun facts.
As for the photos, most are close-ups and, since this is a National Geographic book, quite stunning. |
