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.

A cinquain poem at the beginning of the book offers a language-based entry into science details.
