(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alan Marks. "No bigger than a thumbnail," the male hip-pocket frog carries his tadpoles in hip pouches until they've become froglets. Markle's text conveys the difficulty of the father frog's job as he hunts for food for thirty days in a habitat full of predators. Marks's watercolor, pen, and pencil illustrations show the Australian rainforest and its inhabitants dappled by sunlight. Reading list, websites. Glos.
