Liz Prince (Tomboy)’s loose, cartoony style is a perfect match for Frogs: Awesome Amphibians. This collection of fascinating facts about frogs is the latest in the Science Comics line.
Fran has just moved to a house in the country. She discovers a pond in the nearby woods, where a helpful tadpole takes her to Amphibian Academy to correct her assumption that a tadpole is a fish. There, she learns all kinds of interesting information about frogs and related creatures, including
- different types of amphibians, and how they differ from reptiles
- how frogs breathe
- metamorphosis and the reproductive cycle of frogs
- frog vocalization and ears
- how different varieties of frogs survive in extreme environments
Prince moves the topics along well, with enough time for the reader to understand the learning but without becoming overwhelming. There are plenty of odd and unusual species mentioned, which keeps the reader’s attention, as they wonder what weird frog is going to come up next.
Science Comics: Frogs: Awesome Amphibians is the best kind of educational comic, one that teaches the reader while keeping their interest so much they might not realize how much they’re learning, on an unusual subject with plenty of awesome facts.
