“It was an utter delight reading Reptiles and Amphibians for Kids. The book is filled with amazing photos and illustrations of amphibians and reptiles that will certainly satisfy the curiosity of herpers (lovers of amphibians and reptiles) and soon-to-be herpers young and old. Reading the book, you can immediately hear the author’s voice in your head. Dr. Hua’s enthusiasm and thoughtfulness are palpable in her vivid portrayals of these fascinating animals and the way she gently guides the readers on this wonderful journey. To have had this book in my younger years would have been a treat, and I am both thrilled for and a bit envious of those opening this book and discovering the world of amphibians and reptiles for the first time. One could not have asked for a better book or a better guide.” –Dr. Sinlan Poo, Curator of Research, Memphis Zoo.

More Praise Quotes:

“I loved this book! Reptiles & Amphibians for Kids stands out from other kids’ books on this topic because it doesn’t just offer herp trivia, but helps build real knowledge. Kids of any age could use this book to become mini-experts in herpetology! What I love most is that this book trusts that kids want to learn the deeper stuff, and it does so by guiding them through the “story” of the ecology, evolution, and diversity of reptiles and amphibians. This book doesn’t shy away from new vocabulary or ideas but, instead, empowers kids in a fun and approachable way to use them. There are beautiful kid-friendly infographics and photos, and the myth-busting section will let kids school the grown-ups.” –Lindsey Swierk, PhD, Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences, Binghamton University
