Croak is a collection of delightful quotes and gorgeous photographs
celebrating the underappreciated beauty of frogs. It will delight anyone
with a fondness of these fascinating creatures, and may surprise others
who haven't yet come to appreciate the members of the animal kingdom who
'croak'.As amphibians, frogs are part of the most threatened group of
land animals. They come in every shape and form, from round blobs to
leaf-like mimics; they live on every continent in the world except for
Antarctica; and they have a huge variety of lifestyles and reproductive
modes, from giving birth to live young and carrying babies around on
their backs to living their entire lives in deep caves underground!
Croak will open your eyes to their vibrant variety and the urgent need
to protect our amphibian friends.Many of the stunning, colourful images
in Croak were taken by author Phil Bishop on his travels around the
world. They showcase frogs in their natural habitats, paired with quotes
from famous faces such as Cameron Diaz and John Steinbeck.
Simultaneously amusing and illuminating, this is the perfect coffee
table book to be dipped into occasionally, or to be read all at once by
budding frog-aficionados.So if you're interested in what frogs were up
to 65 million years ago, or how they are related to 10% of all Nobel
prizes, pick up Croak and find out all about these wonderful creatures.
