Salamander season

de Jennifer Keats Curtis

"One cold, rainy, spring night, a young girl and her scientist father participate in "Salamander Night" to follow hundreds of spotted salamanders as they venture into a vernal pool to mate and lay eggs. Together, the father-child team studies the salamanders through their complete amphibian metamorphosis, culminating in the adult salamanders disappearance into the woods in late summer. In easy-to-understand text, the girl relates the tale through her illustrated, photographic journal."--
