{"product_id":"the-hidden-life-of-a-doug-wechsler-9781580897389","title":"The Hidden Life of a Toad","description":"In jaw-dropping photos, Doug Wechsler captures the life cycle of the American toad from egg to tadpole to adult. To get these images, Wechsler sat in a pond wearing waders, went out night after night in search of toads, and cut his own glass to make a home aquarium. The resulting photos reveal metamorphosis in extreme close-up as readers have never seen it before. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBudding naturalists will be transfixed by this unprecedented peek into the secrets of tadpole transformation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA book that encourages observation and conservation and may start some young biologists off on their own lifelong quests to understand animals -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA fascinating look at toad development -- Booklist, starred review \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSuitable for libraries needing to bolster their early nonfiction collections -- School Library Journal \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA remarkable visual chronicle of an easily overlooked creature -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChicago Public Library's 2017 Best of the Best Books selection \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e2018 Green Earth Book Honor for Children's nonfiction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doug Wechsler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 158089738X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580897389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlesbridge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 8.60w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e187731 \/ Hidden Life of a Toad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2017 pg. 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2017 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2017 pg. 165\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2017 pg. 187 - Recommended, Satisfactory","brand":"Doug Wechsler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43939766698239,"sku":"9781580897389","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7b2de0eb-a52d-4767-a23e-853fe196f4bc.jpg?v=1681443358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hidden-life-of-a-doug-wechsler-9781580897389","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
