Big Night for Salamanders - Hardcover
A boy takes charge to help his beloved salamanders. Evan can hardly wait for "Big Night," the first warm rainy night of spring when spotted salamanders crawl out of the woods and down to a vernal pool, where they mate and lay their eggs. Evan and his parents know the salamanders need their help, for a road interrupts the salamanders' path to the vernal pool. Crossing a road at night is dangerous, especially for small amphibians. The family slows the traffic. They carry salamanders across the road. But the cars keep coming, and the hour is late. How can the family help these delicate creatures cross the road in safety? Evan has a solution. . . In this Smithsonian Notable Book for Children, Sarah Marwil Lamstein delivers a moving story of genuine caring. Carol Benioff's colorful and animated illustrations transport the reader into Evan's world, where a child can do small yet wonderful things to help other creatures.
