Frogs are Cool

Booklist said it best "Frogs are cool." They are also wierd. What is great about Herpetologist Beltz's books is that she fully knows both, but leans a bit on wierd side.

An Exquisite Book

This is a book that one truly can judge by its inviting cover, since the pages are every bit as captivating.

Very engaging, attractive frog reference

When friends visit, this is the most popular book they browse off my shelf.

To top it off, the photos are simply spectacular, and would be worth the price of the book all by themselves.
