In the Gallery I happened on another fauna flora book, and on first looking into it it opened on the frog, the one with the green on it's face, so I took that as a good omen!! and bought it. It's big but it fits in my back pocket and illustrations look to be done in colored pencil by hand, which I like...looks kinda like the old Golden Books. The frog, if I have it right, is a Bull Frog.Lemegetthebook at Amazon...
