Amphibians: Everywhere is a picture book on amphibians with engaging and stunning illustrations that will grab anyone who is browsing books and comes across this cover and these pages. The illustrations also help readers more deeply understand the scientific concepts in the book, from evolution to habitats. The illustrations also widen the possible age range of its audience; some readers will only look at (but greatly enjoy!) the illustrations, while older readers will appreciate the science concepts and detailed information, in combination with the images.

Educators and librarians will appreciate that this balance of illustrations and complex text will help readers self-differentiate and read as much or as little as they feel ready to consume. Educators will also appreciate how this text could be a strong introduction to multiple science units, from life cycles to what makes an amphibian to habitats. Readers and educators alike will appreciate that the text breaks down many aspects of what makes an amphibian from body parts to adaptations to evolution and more. This title would be a good fit primarily for readers in second through fifth grade, but it could also be used in a secondary classroom to introduce or reinforce some of these concepts. It would also be a great fit for environmental units as there is a section on how humans impact amphibians and what we can do to help. This was a five star read for me as it is visually appealing, has many quality non-fiction elements, and will be enjoyed by a wide variety of readers and educators.
