Description

My first book of southern African frogs introduces 55 different types of frogs and includes audio files of their calls.  Frogs live just about everywhere – in the wetlands, dams and rivers; in forests, on mountains and even deserts.  They can live above ground, underground, up trees or in water.

Every page is dedicated to a single frog.  The colorful illustrations encourage you to read the text in one of the four different languages; English, Afrikaans, Zulu and Xhosa.

In the introduction pages, you find snippets of information relating to the following subjects:

• what types of amphibians are found globally
• the different parts of a frog
• where frogs live
• the life cycle of frogs
• an explanation of how to use the book

Every frog in the My First Book of Southern African Frogs, lists the following information:

• brief description of the frog
• a tracking number so that you can listen to the sound they make on the accompanying audio files
• the types of eggs they lay
• a map of southern Africa highlighting the frogs’ habitat
• one of 3 icons, (a matchstick, hand or forearm) indicate the size of the frog
• pollution, climate or environmental change affects these amphibians, causing them to disappear.
