2.0 out of 5 stars There are better amphibian books than this one..., October 5, 2000

By A Customer

I was very impressed with Coborn's book on the White's Tree Frog so I looked forward to getting this book, which promised to be a *comprehensive* book about frogs commonly seen in the pet trade for hobbiests. I was very disappointed. It has some nice pictures in it but the setups and care info is starting to be outdated. It is generally about some of the frogs commonly seen in the pet trade, but it is far from comprehensive. In fact, some of the most COMMON amphibs aren't even given much more than a mention, let alone any information about their "proper care."

If you are thinking about getting a frog, or want a book to give to your 10 year old who is a budding frog expert, then this is a book which might satisfy your needs. Otherwise, there are MUCH better books than this one about frogs. Don't be fooled into buying it just because it is inexpensive either. Other books may cost more money, but they will be worth every penny you didn't spend on this one.
