Eye to Eye: How Animals See The World

EYE TO EYE: HOW ANIMALS SEE THE WORLD by Steve Jenkins applies astounding collage techniques to produce an informational picture book that will fly off the shelves.Fans of Steve Jenkins of WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A TAIL LIKE THIS? will enjoy his focus on eye sight in animals. While younger readers will be drawn to the appealing images, older children will enjoy the informational aspects of this book. The accurate, detailed focus on the special features of each animal will be useful to both students working on reports and teachers seeking interesting examples for class. Additional details about each animal are found at the end of the book.Of particular interest is the way Jenkins traces the evolution of the eye. Look for the chart showing the evolutionary process.Although the collage illustrations are amazing, design an activity that asks children to compare the collage images with photographs of each creature. The book along with close-up eye photographs would be fun for a library display.Go to the author’s website to learn more about the books. Be sure to check out the section on making books.

Great book to use as reference.

Concise information and fun drawings amuse and inform. I loved it! Kids will love it, too. It's beautiful and you'll learn a lot!

Content-heavy, more for top of 6-9 year age range -- and above -- or for read-together time. Good illustrations. Probably best used as a reference book. Very helpful glossary in the back. We ordered it for a 7 year old, but will hold it for a while.

I added this to my nonfiction shelf. The kids are not fighting over it so I am surmising it is a bit too difficult for them.

Fantastic book! I used it for a NSTA lesson on habitats and it fit the bill perfectly.Made all the kids really think about adaptation also.

Lots of information for the 8 year old who wants real information not cartoons

While I have not used this in my classroom yet, I learned something new from the book and I know a LOT about animals. I can't WAIT to have my students get interested in eyes as part of our "features and functions" studies!

Great book
