Amphibians

Part of the Animals Have Classes Too! series for grades 1 through 3, this 24-page book shows young readers how scientists sort animals into groups. Its focus is the amphibians: it compares several classes, families, genera, and species, pointing out what they share and where they differ. Photographs and text are supported by sidebars that explain how the classification system itself works.

Along the way, the book explains how amphibians are grouped and what sets them apart from other animals. Each volume in the series covers the same ground for a different animal group, moving from kingdom down to species, with examples at every level, common traits, and the habitats where each kind of animal lives.

The 7.5 by 10 inch format is designed to give beginning readers a clear, approachable way to explore the animal kingdom.
