What do these animals look like and where are they found? Look inside to discover which of the ten amphibians in this book are very small and which ones are really big! ABOUT THE SERIES: Kids can't get enough animal facts! Starting with the smallest animal in each group - amphibians, birds, fish, mammals, and reptiles - readers will want to read to the end as the ten animals listed get bigger and bigger. All the books in this brand-new series brim with colorful photographs and fascinating facts about the featured animals' body, diet, and habitat.
