From Caldecott Honor–winning author-illustrator Steve Jenkins comes a series of animals with unusual eyes in this eye-catching picture book! In his eye-popping work of picture book nonfiction, Jenkins explains how for most animals, eyes are the most important source of information about the world in a biological sense. The simplest eyes—clusters of light-sensitive cells—appeared more than one billion years ago, and provided a big survival advantage to the first creatures that had them. Since then, animals have evolved an amazing variety of eyes, along with often surprising ways to use them.

Amazing Informational Book
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.

Good one for my kids
How the animals see the world. All from the point of view of the animal. From the animal's eyes. Very different book. Good to introduce to kids. Allows them to widen their perspectives and open their minds to the world of animals.

While I have not used this in my classroom yet ...
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!

Secrets of the Soul
Who knew that there were so many different eyes! If the eye is a reflection of the soul, then children (and adults) will be surprised to find so many secrets of the soul in the animal kingdom.

Fun and Informative Though Rooted in Evolution
Used this to add to a middle school art lesson. Students enjoyed the facts and illustrations. Had to skip over information suggesting connections go evolution, as I teach in a Christian school.
