Enchanting story for ages 3-4
VERY simple story about a salamandar who seeks magic that can conquer his fear of the dark -- but eventually finds the magic was within him.

This book is mostly pictures, very little text. Easy to read to little people. Those who are very fearful will find a champion to admire in Pip. Helps children learn that the world is much more than a big scary place... there's magic, too. ... Read more

So life-like!
This coloring book has some beautiful pictures and the life-like images are wonderful to look at. The information that's written alongside the pictures is very helpful. But the best part are the pictures-the ones that you can color as well as the coloring keys. If I didn't know any better, I would think that the animals depicted were actually real! ... Read more

The Frog Alphabet Book, was a good book because it's educational and has good illustrations. I also liked the book because I learned about amphibians I've never heard of before and the ullustrations were unique. My favorite illustration in the book was the picture of the Red-eyed tree frog. I like this picture because it's colorfull and I think Ralph Masiello did a good job.

The Frog Alphabet Book is great. I give it five good stars. I think Jerry Pallotta and Ralph Masiello did a great job. He is my favorite artist. He can paint better than me.

really an amphibian book more than a frog book
This is a wonderful book! I checked it out of the library because my son (2 1/2) is obsessed with frogs, and he loves it. It is on the long side, and I'm not sure I would recommend it for kids just learning their alphabet, but it does have soem good information in it. My only actual complaint about the book is that I'm not fond of some of the comments that are meant to be light-hearted, but that's my personal taste more than anything.

Ribbit!! Ribbit!! Meet the frogs and amphibians!!
Learning the alphabet can be a tedious chore. Thankfully, Mr. Pallotta and Mr. Masiello have made it sooo much easier with their work, "The Frog Alphabet Book"!!

Each page is beautifully illustrated with very realistic pictures of frogs, salamanders, newts and other amphibians in their natural habitat. One could easily use the book for a field guide if one could go to all the exotic places these fascinating creatures live. There's the Fire-bellied Toad, who looks as if it's wearing nail polish. There's the strange looking Olm, which is a blind salamander that lives in dark caves. There's the Japanese Giant Salamander, which seems to be as big as a young man, and on and on through the 26 letters of the alphabet.

The text is brief but informative as it tells a bit about each frog and where it comes from and the back page has a little extra information about three types of amphibians (did you even know there WERE three types?? Surprise!!)

Though the title is a bit misleading-there are over 10 amphibians that are not frogs, including tadpoles and the Undiscovered Frog (species that no doubt exist but have not been found yet)-it is a beautiful book and a fine addition to any classroom or home. Even children and students who are very well versed with the alphabet will enjoy reading this book for it's fine, colorful and sometimes strange-looking creatures that breathe both air and water.

Legare the Low Country Lizard
A charming story that has delighted my children for years. We also have another Legare book which is equally loved. The illustrations are wonderful, the rhymes are catchy, and there is even a message about the value of friendship from Tradd the Tree Frog ("You don't need a tail to be my friend Legare!"). Small footnoted text on each page provides some informative background on Charleston, the setting for this story. I highly recommend this book for children.

If you love Charleston...
My son and I love to read the about the adventures of Lagare and all his lowcountry friends. The illusrations are colorful and simple. The easy rhyming makes for a quick, fun read. Great footnotes, too! Can't wait for #3! Lisa

Fascinated By Frogs.
Over the past several years, I have learned a lot about frogs. However, I have a lot more to learn. POISON DART FROGS has helped me in my quest for knowledge about frogs. The book is full of information and brilliantly penciled drawings. The book discusses such things as where the frogs poison comes from, how hunters gather the poison, how the frogs are born, and how they mate. A great book for any young person interested in nature or for anyone who loves frogs. ... Read more

Lovely Book
This is a really lovely book. Recently, for my 7-year-old daughter's Cloverbud (4H) group, we fished for tadpoles from a local pond so each of us could watch them grow at home. We read this book first. It has beautiful drawings and is both clear and interesting. My daughter and I have seen a lot of books about frogs, but this is the first that got my daughter really excited about them. ... Read more
