Frogs – A book you can talk to! YES! A book you can TALK to! It runs in all browsers, on desktops, laptops, tablets and cell phones. It does not require special software. Ask the AI-based avatar, Electra, anything you like. She will speak and text the answer. Watch as real frog eggs divide into an embryo, emerge as tadpoles that swim about, develop legs, hands and lungs, lose their tails and become a frog that can breathe air. Examine each stage of metamorphosis in 3D.
You live in the age of mammals. You know about the age of dinosaurs. Long before the dinosaurs ruled the Earth, there was the Age of Amphibians. It was a time of giant flying insects and 10 feet long millipedes. Explore the combustible carboniferous with this interactive book that combines storytelling, hands-on activities with 3D manipulations, dynamic simulation and enthralling videos. Have a question?
