Frogs and Other Amphibians

This series provides an in-depth look at the life cycles of animals and plants, with concise, informative text and stunning photographs. The books explain, by focusing on a particular animal or plant, every stage or animal and plant cycles, including breeding, pollination, metamorphosis and death. Similar species in different environments around the world are also examined.

Suitable for 7-12 year olds.

A frog starts life as a tiny black egg in a ball of jelly. The egg hatches into a tadpole which grows four legs and loses its tail. Finally, it leaves the pond as an adult frog. Toads, newts and salamanders have a similar life cycle, but an axolotl always looks like a tadpole, even as an adult.
