The Hidden Life of a Toad
In jaw-dropping photos, Doug Wechsler captures the life cycle of the American toad from egg to tadpole to adult.

The resulting photos reveal metamorphosis in extreme close-up as readers have never seen it before. Budding naturalists will be transfixed by this unprecedented peek into the secrets of tadpole transformation. Demystifying
