"Mothers often like to stay close to their babies. The Surinam toad, however, takes this to the extreme. A mother Surinam toad carries her eggs on her back until they hatch! How does she do this? Readers find the answer as they explore the ins and outs of one of nature's most fascinating life cycles. Basic biology concepts are presented in a fun and unique way, and the simple, focused text allows young readers to practice independently gathering information. In addition, impressive photographs show these toads at every stage of their life cycle."--
