Frog Song

“*There is just enough information to interest older children who can read the book themselves, but the realistic pictures and fascinating facts can be shared one-on-one with younger children as well.”

“*Guiberson speaks of frog voices as a beacon. . . . Spirin's paintings make this a book to treasure.”

“Another harmonious salute to the natural world by an accomplished pair.”

“The fascinating facts and impressive tempera, watercolor, and pencil illustrations make this a distinctive introduction to frogs.”

“This nonfiction book shows why the boreal forest, home to a unique ecosystem of plants and animals, is as big and important as tropical rain forests.”

“Gorgeously intricate illustrations perfectly complement equally evocative text in this introduction to the great northern, or boreal, forest, which sprawls across the entire northern hemisphere. . . . Guiberson and Spirin manage to successfully convey the beauty and majesty of this forest and its denizens in two dimensions, and a list of organizations devoted to preserving the forest provides further information. An author's note adds urgency to the message about the importance of preservation.”
