Eye by Eye

Every day there are new discoveries made and more ways to hear about them - books, the internet, the tv, school, or experts to name a few. But how does one make sense of all this information in a meaningful way? Sara Levine, veterinarian, teacher and author, has found the perfect way to engage elementary aged children and help them to take in and learn from some interesting facts about how animals survive. The facts are presented visually one at a time with simple illustrations of children with the eyes of various animals. They are seen with the eight eyes of a spider, the traveling eye of the flounder, eyes at the ends of their limbs as is true for starfish and the different shaped pupils of rattlesnakes, cuttlefish, deer, etc. After being asked to predict which animal would have the pictured eye type there is a page that shows the animal and why a particular style of eye is best to ensure their survival.
I highly recommend this book for children 5-10. It would be a valuable addition to libraries, schools, zoo programs and homes. It should be noted that the author has already published Bone by Bone, Fossil by Fossil and Tooth by Tooth.
