For those children or students who find a frog, toad or turtle and want to know what species or kind it is, this is perfect. It tells you what they look like, where they are found (I.e. what states) and what they eat. I also enjoyed the craft projects (Make a Frog Puzzle, Toad House or Turtle Paperweight) at the end of each section; they used supplies that most will have on hand or be able to find easily and they appeared simple enough for all levels.

This is the third Young Naturalist Field Guides book I have read. Unfortunately, I do not like this one as much as the other two. The frog section seems really repetitive as most of the frogs are similar in size, can be found east of the Mississippi River, hibernate by burrowing in mud or under leaves, and eat insects. The toad section is slightly more diverse than the frog section, but my favorite part of this book is the turtle section by far. Perhaps visual aids comparing the frogs would have helped. If your child loves frogs, toads, and turtles, I would look for a more informative book. This title is just okay.
