Books with title Creepy Amphibians

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.

In Amphibians, you'll take a close-up look at the amazing world of the first animals to live both in water and on land. See how a frog's digestive system is similar to a human's and find out how a salamander cane scape its enemies by breaking off its tail. Discover how the gastric brooding frog develops its tadpoles in its stomach and how, when they are ready to hatch, they jump out of their mother's mouth! One of the largest poisonous frogs of Central America actually has enough poison to kill more than 20,000 white mice at one time! All these exciting discoveries are waiting for you--they are a part of OUR LIVING WORLD. And you're a part of it, too.

Readers will learn all about the weird things amphibians do, including how some mother frogs birth their babies from under the skin on their back and that a salamander can re-grow its tail. In-depth descriptions of amphibious life and freaky fact boxes will engage young readers as detailed, colorful photographs creep around each page turn. A fun fact chart and helpful glossary will add to each readers experience.
