Can anyone recommend a frog and tadpole identifier reference book?

Each year I help along the tadpoles that make it to gestation in my fountain and last year I found out too late that I had helped along Cuban frogs. This year I was convinced that I have a greenhouse variety, but would like confirmation. I'm a visual learner.

is green tree frog. Also, I was able to examine one of the emerging frogs and it does not have red eyes and I couldn't even see its pads. That means it's NOT a cuban frog. So, I did good this year.

Thank you for your help.

asks his phone what it is and it comes up with the answer most of the time. I am not sure if it is an app or he just posts it and asks. We have found out types of flowers, birds, dogs, and even horses.
