Fascinating,
By
This review is from: Uncover a Frog (Uncover Books) (Hardcover)
This is a valuable resource for a child, teen or possibly a frog-delighting adult:) I was impressed with its clear format, language and the clever puzzle type model of the make-up of a frog. It says on the front from age 8 up but my 4 and 7 year old devour it greedily and have absorbed much (gruesome) fact on these creatures. Highly recommended from a biological and anatomical point of view.

This review is from: Uncover a Frog (Uncover Books) (Hardcover)
I happened to run across this book at a wholesale club and picked it up. What a great find! The center of the book is a model ofa frog, but what isn't obvious is that as you turn each page, each layer of the frog is suspended inside that page, so the model gets build up and your child can see each system individually and how it fits inside.I bought this and several others in this series and my 6 year old, who is in 1st grade just loves them. My aunt was so impressed she asked me to send her the info on these books so she could buy it for her grandkids. This is a whole series of books, if your child is interested in human anatomy, check out Uncover the Human Body: An Uncover It Book (Uncover Books). For more animal related books see Uncover a Shark: An Uncover It Book (Uncover Books), Uncover a Dog (Uncover Books), Uncover a Dolphin (Uncover Books), Uncover a Horse (Uncover Books), Uncover a Cobra (Uncover Books), Uncover a Tarantula: Take a Three-Dimensional Look Inside a Tarantula! (Uncover Books) and even Uncover a T. Rex: Take a Three-Dimensional Look Inside a T. Rex! (Uncover Books)! There is one drawback to this book (and series), the various small pieces of the model are held to the book with little pieces of plastic, so they are somewhat fragile. So far we haven't had anything break, so they aren't super fragile, but I wouldn't recommend this book for a child who is too young to know to be careful with it, since it certainly isn't designed to withstand rough wear and tear.
