Reviews
<p> Frogs and toads worldwide are endangered, and their biggest threats are human ignorance and indifference. It is also true--ask any kid--that frogs and toads are fascinating animals. Terry VanDeWalle's attractive and informative laminated guide to the frogs and toads of the Upper Midwest offers a bridge to a newfound knowing and understanding of these fine animals. It says: here are our frogs and toads--they are beautiful and valuable. But it also suggests, by extension, that you should now go out there and look--get a little muddy and rumpled--and discover again what you once knew as a kid. --Michael J. Lannoo, editor, Amphibian Declines: The Conservation Status of United States Species
