Fabulous Frogs by Martin Jenkins
Rich in greens and browns and full of splattery textures, especially the frogs. Most frog books focus on life cycle, this one nicely highlights diversity instead. -- Kirkus ReviewsHuge frogs, tiny frogs, hairy frogs, and flying frogs hop through the pages of this colorful nonfiction book. Discover the Goliath frog, biggest in the world, and the Darwin's frog, which has a pointy nose and holds its tadpoles in its mouth. Learn why some frogs are brightly colored and which one can bury itself in the desert until rain comes. There are so many kinds of frogs in the world -- more than five thousand -- and all of them are fabulous.
Martin Jenkins, a conservation biologist, is the author of several nonfiction books for children. He says, I first saw wild elephants in the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya, where a big family of them was making their way across the savanna. I ve seen elephants lots of times since then, but I ll never forget that first family, strolling across the plains without a care in the world - that was magic.
Ivan Bates has illustrated many books for children. He says of GRANDMA ELEPHANT'S IN CHARGE, I have always found elephants to be fascinating creatures, capable of both extreme strength and tenderness. This, along with their mighty stature and a wonderful setting amid vast land- and skyscapes, makes them a joy to draw.
