Dear Sky,

Hello! It’s me, Bubble!

I’m here!

Someone’s breathed me

awake!

What is it like to be little? What is it like to be big?

Long legs, sticky tongues, big round eyes, and other dazzling  features-what’s not to love about frogs?  

Explore one of the world’s most diverse-and threatened-animals. With more than five thousand different frog species on the planet, in every color of the rainbow and a vast number  of vivid patterns, no creatures are more fascinating to learn about  or  look at. Jenkins and Page present  a stunning array of these intriguing amphibians and the many amazing adaptations they have made to survive.

Everything  in the meadow, from hugging the trees to stargazing with friends, fills Wolfgang with joy.

His ambition, though, is to become the great spirit of the Dark Castle. So Wolfgang strives to perfect his spooking skills, practicing day and night. When Wolfgang wins the honor of haunting the shadowy halls, he is very good at it?but if being a great spirit means leaving his beloved meadow behind, is it good for him?  

In his eye-popping work of  picture book  nonfiction, Jenkins  explains how for  most animals,  eyes are the most important source of information about the world in a biological sense.

The simplest eyes-clusters of light-sensitive cells-appeared more than one billion years ago, and provided a big survival advantage to the first creatures that had them. Since then, animals have evolved an amazing variety of eyes, along with often surprising ways to use them.

Using his signature cut paper art style, Jenkins illustrates how these animals dominate their different ecosystems using speed, strength, and even cooperation and cunning.

Take a trip through history and discover apex predators both past and present, from the earliest sea creatures to the modern African lion and giant freshwater ray, which can grow to over fifteen feet.
