Here, for the first time, is the strange but true story of Darwin's frog. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter Charles Darwin discovered the frog in 1834, other researchers found that one of his specimens was packed full of tadpoles. Was the frog a cannibal, or perhaps a rare species that gave birth to live young instead of laying eggs? No. He was a male, holding the tadpoles safe in his vocal sac while they morphed into froglets. And the surprises didn't stop there. Author and frog scientist Marty Crump mines her firsthand experiences studying Darwin's frog to tell the fascinating story for young readers. Award-winning illustrators Steve Jenkins and Edel Rodriguez lend their art to a mix of beautiful photographs. Young readers will be enthralled by this story of real science, full of strange surprises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marty Crump\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590788648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590788646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Astra Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 8.70w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e157680 \/ Mystery of Darwin's Frog\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Colorado Book Award - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/21\/2013 pg. 67\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013 pg. 133\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2013 pg. 459\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2013 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2013 pg. 161 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/28\/2013","brand":"Marty Crump","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44173229228287,"sku":"9781590788646","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6aea36cb-b36c-4009-9aab-13d011a5fa5e.jpg?v=1689791698","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mystery-of-darwins-frog-marty-crump-9781590788646","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
