Overview

Frogs are animals that live on land and in water. Frogs begin their life in water, and as adults some live both on land and in water, while others live only on land. Toads also begin life in water but live only on land as adults. Frogs and toads belong to a group of animals that scientists call Anura, which are part of a larger group called amphibians. The word amphibian means two lives, and frogs and toads live at least part of their life in water and part on land. Frogs and toads come in different colors and look different from each other, with frogs having long legs and smooth skin, while toads have shorter legs and bumpy skin. The life cycle of frogs and toads is explained and illustrated. Frogs and toads begin life as eggs in water, and the eggs hatch into tadpoles that live in water as they grow to become adults. The adults lay more eggs and the life cycle repeats. Frogs and toads are important because they eat many insects and are food for other animals. A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages. Reading Level 1-3. Interest Level 2-5. Lexile measure 430L.
