Description
A full-color children's picture book with educational backmatter celebrating the abundance of salamanders in the Southern Appalachian region. This is a poem-length picture book (350 words) about salamanders as a group and specifically names all the different salamanders (more than 30 at last count) that can be found in Great Smoky Mountains National Park--but most are also found in the surrounding landscapes. From the monstrous hellbender to the tiny Pygmy salamander, the temperate rainforest provides an incredible habitat for herpetological wonders. Author Diane Lang brings her knowledge of animals to life alongside illustrations by Katy Tanis. A must-read for young readers who are interested in salamanders, snakes, lizards, and other amphibians.--Diane Lang
