English Edition: About Amphibians
by Cathryn Sill
illustrated by John Sill
Now in Spanish, this beginner’s guide offers a first glimpse into the natural world of amphibians. Cathryn and John Sill, the award-winning author and illustrator team that created the About… series, once again introduce young learners to an important group of animals and the habitats where they live.
Educator and author Cathryn Sill uses simple, easy-to-understand language to teach children what amphibians are, how they look, how they move, what they eat, and where they live.
Beautifully detailed, realistic paintings by noted wildlife illustrator John Sill illuminate a variety of amphibians (from frogs and toads to salamanders and more), and an afterword provides details on the animals featured, inspiring readers to learn more.

Reviews
“Inviting, informative, and eye-catching.” ―School Library Journal
“Breathtaking…. This is a very fine easy-reading introduction to amphibians that will be savored by young viewers and teachers.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“As well suited to young children as its predecessors…. The attractive, dignified portraits of the animals in their habitats and the straightforward, informative approach of the text make the book an attractive resource for primary-grade students, yet still simple enough for much younger children to enjoy…. A useful addition to a solid science series.” ―Booklist
