Reviews for The Barking Tree Frog And Other Curious
The Barking Tree Frog makes plain what newspaper readers in the mid-Atlantic realized long ago: that Diane Tennant's stories meld art and science in surprising, often daring ways, never fail to grab and hold your attention, and leave you wondering at the natural, improbable, amazing world. - Earl Swift, author of The Tangierman's Lament and Other Tales of Virginia
