I learned a lot about frogs and some about toads. I now know the difference between them. I liked how the book was divided into sections so that I got the cycles they live through. I liked that pictures were provided but I would have liked to see a photograph of the frog or toad that was being spoken about above or below the information not just random frogs. I liked the illustration of the poison dart frogs. I wish they would have been named. They were colorful and I had to guess which one was the yellow banded poison dart frog. But I did enjoy the information. This is a good overview for your 4-8 year old.
