Amphibians - Creatures of the Land and Water (Paperback)

The Cincinnati Zoo, a renowned educational and wildlife research facility, joins Franklin Watts in a series of books introducing the threatened animal and plant species of the world. Dramatic, full-color photographs and lively writing will enthrall and inform young readers, while promoting their interest in global conservation. Each book includes a glossary and an index.

This captivating book takes a close-up look at amphibians -- frogs, toads, salamanders, caecilians -- surprising creatures with two-part lives (first in water and then on land), who are descendants of the first vertebrates that struggled from murky swamps onto land 350 million years ago.
