So Many Salamanders

By Diane Lang

A full-color children's picture book with educational information celebrating the abundance of salamanders in the Southern Appalachian region. This picture book and poem (350 words) highlights salamanders as a group and specifically names all the salamanders that can be found in Great Smoky Mountains National Park (32 at last count)--but most are also found in the surrounding region. From the monstrous hellbender to the tiny Pygmy salamander, the temperate rainforest provides an incredible habitat for herpetological wonders. Author Diane Lang brings her knowledge of animals to life alongside illustrations by Katy Tanis. A must-read for young readers who are interested in salamanders, snakes, lizards, and other amphibians.--Diane Lang
