In this brightly illustrated how-to book, children will learn how to draw a cute frog using ovals of different colors and sizes. Beginning readers will have no trouble following the simple step-by-step instructions. Close picture-text correlation encourages children to identify colors. A fun fact and photograph of a frog opens the book and draws reluctant readers in.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1875.

Readers will draw their frog with ovals by beginning with the back leg. They will use small or large ovals and such colors as yellow, purple, and pink to complete their frog in eight simple steps. They’ll have fun coloring in their finished oval frog!

The heart of this book consists of detailed systematic accounts of the known fossil frogs and toads (anurans) of North America and their localities. Extinct fossil frogs and toads are fully discussed and illustrated, and in some cases are re-diagnosed and re-described. For fossil taxa still living, the book gives the modern characteristics, ecological attributes, and modern ranges, and includes illustrations of diagnostic skeletal elements. The volume begins with an overview of the anurans and anuran studies, a general account of the skeleton and bones, and a discussion of the early evolution of the Anura, along with the formal classification of anuran taxonomic groups found in the North American fossil record. The third part of the book presents an epoch-by-epoch discussion of Mesozoic, Tertiary, and Pleistocene anurans, the classification and phylogeny of the anurans, and a comprehensive list of references.
