Whether it’s counting their birthdays or measuring their height, kids love to see how their bodies change over time. This series looks at the life cycle of familiar plants and animals, introducing the reader to the concept of change over time. Each book looks at the habitat the plant or animal lives in, what they need to grow, and the stages of changes they go through.

This book is about frogs, and their toad cousins, and their fascinating amphibian lives. Frogs live all over the world, even managing to withstand freezing their own bodies. Cold-blooded, but astonishingly similar to animals biologically, they perhaps offer a glimpse of a common ancestor. From an egg protected and nourished by frogspawn through its development first as the vegetarian fish like tadpole to becoming the carnivorous frog “A frog's life” is a journey of discovery into the lives and habits of one of nature's most treasured and diverse creatures. Worshiped as a goddess by the Egyptians and for many cultures a symbol of good luck, but for others, a tasty treat. A staple of French cuisine, an invaluable aid to scientists, biologists, Amazonian hunters and an early warning system of ecological problems. A frog’s life explores the contribution of these amphibians with Evelyn Wood’s usual mix of fact and fun, anatomical diagrams, cartoons a quiz and colouring pages.
