"Read this humorous, skillfully informative book all about frogs next!"—Imagination Soup

Why would you pick up a book about frogs? Nobody likes them!  At least according to Persnickety Q. Turtle. In this humorous narrative nonfiction picture book the text cleverly puts the reader in the role of the “expert” to educate a persnickety turtle about the amazing amphibian known as the frog.  
 
With the reader's help, Persnickety Q. Turtle learns intriguing frog facts, such as they can breathe through their skin while underwater and their eyes help them swallow. Pick up this book and help Persnickety find out all the reasons frogs are such incredible creatures.
BARBARA DAVIS-PYLES, author of Grizzly Boy, CliFF the Failed Troll, and Stubby the Fearless Squid, has written hundreds of fiction and nonfiction pieces for the children's education market. When Barbara's not writing, she can be found hiking, biking, or packing for a road trip. She lives in the northwest corner of Washington State with her family.

LIZ WONG was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, where she spent her early childhood painting and clambering about in mango trees. Liz holds a BFA in Art and a BA in Anthropology from the University of Washington and currently resides in Edmonds, Washington with her husband and son. She continues to alternately delight and exasperate her family to this day.
