About this listen

The word “salamander” is a Greek word meaning “fire animal.” Long ago when people would collect logs to build fires, they noticed that salamanders would race out of the logs when they were heated. The people thought that the salamanders came from the fire. Of course, we know that salamanders like to live in damp logs and were simply running away from the fire. Salamanders are amphibians that have smooth, slimy skin. They secrete a mucus to keep their skin moist. This helps protect the skin and also helps the salamander to breathe. Did you know that salamanders breathe through their skin as well as through their lungs? A salamander will also “drink” liquid through its skin while sitting in a pond or moist grass.

Catchy lyrics and a fun melody line will teach kids all about salamanders in this fabulous audiobook.
