Do you know that a frog sings with its mouth shut? Do you know, too, that its tongue is attached at the front instead of the back? Or that a frog eats its own skin?

Catch your own frog and watch these fascinating things happen. It's easy to do if you have any patience. You can keep it in a vivarium. This book tells you how.

It also tells you just what kind of an animal a frog is, and why it is important to know about it—to know how it grows, from egg to tadpole to adult; where it likes to live; what it eats; who its enemies are. There are many kinds of frogs and many kinds of toads. How do you tell frogs from toads? Is it true that toads are poisonous?

This book is full of interesting facts. Frogs and toads can have peculiarities just like human beings. A Tree Frog, for example, is a great acrobat; the Leopard Frog has spots on its coat; the Yellow Legged Frog is very shy. There are toads that live in deep, dark burrows and toads that have natural "baby-carriages."

Here are frog ways clearly and scientifically presented. The young naturalist will be delighted with this readable, well-illustrated report on one of our most important animal friends.
