I love these froggies! September 16, 2008
Two thumbs up! The guidebook pictures are clear, the descriptions are detailed and include information on where each species can be found (what region of the US and what type of habitat). Each track on the CD includes an introduction with both the common and Latin name of the species. Now I know exactly who I've been hearing outside. After the individual sounds tracks, the author also shares some "combo" tracks with more than one species and describes the conditions and exactly what is going on with the frogs/toads in question. I thought this was really helpful because when encountered in the wild you typically don't find a single animal on its own. It was also entertaining, as when he shared the "frog with a stutter", turf wars and mixed species frog calls. My whole family enjoyed this CD and it was a great addition to our homeschool biology studies.

Kudos to Lang Elliott for gathering this amazing variety of frog calls. The identification of each call is a great help. I would recommend that every "frog-lover" have this information in their library.
A great learning tool April 21, 2008
Being an amateur nature recordist myself, I think the recordings on the CD are of the highest quality and done very professional. The book pictures are good. The voice descriptions are to the point, with a general time table for when each species can be heard.

Recognizing frog/toad sounds November 10, 2007
Since moving to the country and acquiring a pond, a whole new world of amphibian sounds has added enjoyment to everyday living for our family. This CD has a put a face, name, and description to each of these fascinating calls and made identifying them fun and interesting.
