Explore a toad?s life cycleToads are small and often unseen by human eyes, but their world is rich and varied. The toads in these eloquent poems describe their many wonders, from sticky fly-catching tongues, to the way they shed skin, and camouflage. Joanne Ryder traces the life cycle of amphibians as they change from springtime tadpoles into full-grown toads that hibernate in winter. Maggie Kneen?s illustrations showcase toads in their natural habitat with precise, dramatic detail. You?ll never think of toads the same way again!
