“Frog Day is packed with fact-filled vignettes spanning these spectacular amphibians’ global occurrence, sizes, appearances, habitats, behavior, and conservation status. Readers of this wonderful book will learn a lot about frogs, as well as why we should all be concerned for the plight of wild nature on our rapidly changing planet.”

“In rainforests around the world, pesky mosquitoes swarm your face while frogs ‘fly’ through the canopy, call from branches dripping with ferns and orchids, and mimic plump, ripe tomatoes. Elsewhere, crawfish frogs snore, fat cane toads gobble up insects, and African bullfrogs babysit their tadpoles. Readers will delight in this beautifully illustrated and evocative reminder of how special amphibians and their habitats are.”
— Susan C. Walls, United States Geological Survey
“This is storytelling at its best. Frog Day is an engaging and visually stunning narrative on frogs—some of the planet’s most imperiled creatures. Crump has skillfully woven together tantalizing tales with fascinating facts, resulting in a beautiful celebration of frogs at a time when they need our help the most. I have no doubt that this book will captivate readers of all ages, at the same time inspiring a passion for frogs and their conservation.”

“We truly could not have asked for a more knowledgeable and enchanting guide. As we hop from continent to continent, we not only get a glimpse of the natural history, behavior, and adaptations of frogs, but we also see how these creatures are intertwined with culture and folklore from around the world. As Frog Day comes to an end, we are left with a sense of wonder and a thirst to continue this exploration.”
