The population of frogs in the United States has been declining for
the past fifty years, even in our protected national parks. What dangers
do frogs face? How can we help?
In simple yet engaging language, acclaimed science writer Melissa
Stewart showcases twelve types of North American frogs, from the wood
frog to the now rare Oregon spotted frog. Her clear narrative shows the
threats these frogs face, and informative sidebars describe a wide
variety of efforts to save them.
In addition, remarkable full-color illustrations vividly and accurately
depict the frogs within the ecosystems that support their survival.
This nonfiction picture book is part of a prize-winning series designed
to inform young readers about a wide range of environmental issues and
to present ways people can help protect animals and their natural
habitats.
