The Case of the Vanishing Golden Frogs: A Scientific Mystery by Sandra Markle
4.0
The Panamanian golden frogs are disappearing. That might not seem like a huge deal, but these little frogs are a symbol of Panama the way that bald eagles are a symbol of America. Not to mention the fact that one animal disappearing from an ecosystem can effect that ecosystem drastically.
Why are the frogs disappearing? Is it pollution? Climate change? Habitat destruction? Disease? And what, if anything, can scientists do about it?
In The Case of the Vanishing Golden Frogs, scientists begin to investigate this environmental mystery... and you might be surprised by what you find out.
The text is simple while conveying a lot of information and each spread is accompanied by full-color photography. This book is perfect for kids interested in the environment and endangered animals. Perhaps a young reader will grow up to be the one to save the golden frogs of Panama.
