Animal Eyes

Children's Literature - Susan Hepler

Part of the "Look Once, Look Again" series, this title introduces the variety of features that appear in the eyes of crabs, fish, frogs, starfish, cats, and geckos. In a guessing-game format, each right-hand page introduces a feature with a single sentence clue, and the back of the page gives several sentences more while a second photography puts the feature in a larger context. Photographs are clean, clear, and well chosen. Extensive back matter includes a review identification quiz; a glossary of approximately fifteen words; activities which imply curriculum or adult supervision; a section on further study (with at least half the books recommended from this publisher), and an index. A good discussion starter for animal study.
