Reviews
“Stewart has a gift for offering scientific information in an inviting way for children. She never talks down to them, but keeps the facts interesting and brief. The focus on the environment makes this book a good one for green units or programs. The information offered gives children a way to make a difference for these fascinating creatures ... Highly recommended, this book belongs in every public library. Children will pick it up for love of the animal and in the process learn about their own impact on frogs.”
“A simple text runs along the top of each illustrated spread, describing a human threat to frogs ... and then suggesting a solution. A realistic acrylic painting depicts one or more frogs in their natural habitat, while a sidebar identifies the species shown and briefly presents a case study of how they were threatened and the efforts made to save them. ... Stewart's beautifully illustrated title centers on how humans negatively affect wildlife and makes a strong case for conservation.”
