Land mammals breathe oxygen through nostrils but some marine mammals breathe through blowholes. Compare and contrast mammals that live on land to those that live in the water."--

Book Description
Frogs and toads are some of the most confusing amphibians to classify. While some of their physical attributes are easy to tell apart, if we take a deeper look at these animals we find it’s not quite that simple. From poisonous skin and bulging eyes to their amazing life cycles, these creatures are as interesting to study as they are difficult to categorize. Once we break down the difference between "true" frogs and "true" toads, it’s easy to see why so many have trouble telling the two creatures apart.

Book Description
Sharks and dolphins both have torpedo-shaped bodies with fins on their backs. They slice through the water to grab their prey with sharp teeth. But despite their similarities, sharks and dolphins belong to different animal classes: one is a fish and gets oxygen from the water and the other is a mammal and gets oxygen from the air. Marine educator Kevin Kurtz guides early readers to compare and contrast these ocean predators through stunning photographs and simple, nonfiction text.
