I liked this book because of the last two pages which goes more in depth about why the insects and animals are harmful to this little frog. It also goes more in depth on how it lives, can hang on leaves, and what it prefers to eat. I also like that the pictures are real versus illustrations.

Joy Cowley creates a simple text and clear pictures about a variety of species in the rain forest, including iguanas, macaws, and snakes. The book goes through the life of a frog, and all of it prey and what it preys on. The final pages offer a much more factual and interesting look at the book's
