8A nonfiction picture book about the fabulous adaptations that keep amphibians alive and thriving in their unique habitats!

How do sunscreen and mucus help amphibians survive?

In Sunscreen, Snot Homes, and Other Amazing Amphibian Adaptations, kids ages 5 to 8 discover how one frog uses sunscreen to protect itself through the dry season and how another uses its own mucus to create a cocoon. Amphibians spend part of their time on land and part in the water, so they've evolved fascinating methods of surviving these different environments. A cinquain poem at the beginning of the book offers a language-based entry into science details. Detailed illustrations, funny narrative, layered text, and backmatter all point science-minded, curious kids toward the fascinating world of animal adaptation!
