★ "Eye-catching and thought-provoking."—<i><b>School Library Journal, starred review</b></i><br /><br />"The eye-catching volume is illustrated with color photographs, detailed artistic renderings of the frog by Jenkins, and ink-and-watercolor portraits of the various human personalities involved by Rodriguez, making its creation as collaborative as science itself. An attractively designed and informative introduction to a fascinating amphibian full of strange suprises."—<i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b></i><br /><br /> "Jenkins' cut-paper constructions combine with Rodriguez's portraits of scientists and with arresting color photographs of the frogs in the wild. Crump investigates a riddle of biodiversity with clarity and style."—<i><b>Publishers Weekly</b></i>
