ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- This charming book shows some of the many frogs found in Australia, explaining along the way habitats, diets, life cycles, unusual features and their place in the environment. Told in gentle rhyming couplets, the accessible text is enhanced by simple and naturalistic illustrations.

Factual information and a glossary complete this celebration of our fascinating frogs! Lindy

Australian frogs are fabulous frogs! Did you know that there are frogs who change colour? Or that there are frogs who would rather walk than jump, or can use their eyes to swallow food? And that some tadpoles can control when they turn into a frog?

Fabulous Frogs is a celebration of Australian native frogs, and their fascinating features and behaviours.

Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9.
