Toads
Designed to picture the complete life-cycle of the common garden toad and the tree toad, or Pickering's hyla; to present his life-history in such a way as to stimulate the child to make further observations of his own, to inculcate respect for the toad's right to live, and to make clear that the toad is not only harmless but performs a valuable service in the destruction of insect pests. The camera reveals many fascinating glimpses of tadpoles and mature toads.
