Frogs and toads are remarkable creatures. They are amphibians that live partly in water and partly on land, and they hoppity hop from lilypad to lilypad. Frogs breathe with their lungs and through their skin, and have hearts with three chambers instead of four. Frogs have sticky tongues that they use to catch and eat insects, spiders, and other small creatures. Frogs have bulging eyes that can see all the way around. Male frogs can sign to attract a mate and to mark their territory. All toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads. Toads usually prefer terrestrial habitats and have warty skin.

Nothing can beat the beauty of nature...but not all things in nature are beautiful. In fact, some are downright disgusting. Whether they are gross in appearance or have gross behaviours, the creatures you meet in this book will make you say "Eewwwwww!!!"

60 photographs and descriptions of beautiful butterflies.

Spiders are amazing creatures. There are more than 38,000 known species of spiders, and a human is said to never be more than 3 meters away from a spider. Spiders are NOT insects. Spiders have eight legs and two bodily sections, while insects have six legs and three bodily sections. Some spiders are poisionous (and deadly), but most are not. All spiders produce silk, which many species use to spin webs and capture their prey. The largest spider is the Goliath birdeater. It can grow to be 28 centimeters wide and have fangs that are 2.5 centimeters long.

Bees and other pollinators help pollinate the plants that give us many of our favourite foods. Bees are North America''s most important pollinators. Honeybees have 2 stomachs. One is for food, and the other is used to carry nectar back to the hive. Chocolate is made from the cacao plant. Without bats to pollinate the cacao plant, there would be no chocolate!
