A definite "must have" book that I picked up so long ago. Maybe that is when amphibians first captured my heart.

We give out the field guides to VP to all teachers/schools involved in our vernal pool projects. In my view they are a must have item for vernal pool explorations. Pam

Might I be so bold as to suggest the Field Guide to the Animals of
Vernal Pools by Kenney and Burne? Many classroom have sets for the
students to use for vernal pool studies and projects.
I suspect they would be particularly useful for field studies with home
schoolers and they are an inexpensive resource.
