ReviewedThe colors of most tree frogs help them blend in with their surroundings. But when startled, some tree frogs shock predators with their brightly colored eyes. Beginning readers will be surprised by other cool facts about tree frogs in this eye-catching title.
'Tree Frogs is one of the 50 books in the Animal Safari series of non fiction books for emergent readers. The cover photograph reels the reader in with its big red-eyed, larger than life tree frog. Once inside the book, the two-page spreads contain two large font sentences on white, opposite the larger than life photo on the right. The book is divided into four sections: What are Tree Frogs?; Climbers; Hunting and Hiding; and Males, Females, and Babies.The nine bold type vocabulary words included in the book’s text and defined in the glossary include: amphibians, gills, pads, and predators. Three different habitats are pictured in small insets when the rain forests are mentioned. The tree frogs’ prey of moths, crickets, and flies are also given small insets. A very brief mention the life cycle from egg to tadpole to adult living in trees is mentioned without using the term life cycle in the last section of the book. Includes an index and www.factsurfer.com web address for further information and pictures.', South Sound Book Review Council, Washington
