This review is from: The Book of the Toad: A Natural and Magical History of Toad-Human Relations (Paperback)
This is truly a distinctive and fascinating book. It is an eclectic collection of prose, poetry and artwork, all in celebration of the frog. This is not intended for the reader looking for practical information about frogs, but it is still educational none-the-less. It is fanciful work aimed towards entertaining the frog-appreciating individual. Charming poems, interesting artwork that includes frogs with a historical perspective (including frogs in medieval art), and a collection prose related to frogs grace the pages of this book. Remarkably entertaining, this book is very well researched and nicely organized. Numerous books celebrate more widely popular animals like cats and dogs, but this book is truly unique. While its appeal may be limited, some individuals will find this to be one of their favorite books. I love it!
