    About this ebook

    It seems the most overlooked creatures tend to have tricks up their sleeves – or in this case, tails. Threaten a salamander and it might steal away, leaving one extremity behind. Kids will delight in the salamander’s means of survival, and learn how this amphibian behaves in the wild.
