Did you know that honeybees have five eyes? Or that a giant squid’s eyes are bigger than dinner plates? These are just two of the fascinating facts included in Amazing Eyes Up Close. Early elementary readers will be delighted by the variety of ways the animals around us use their eyes to find food and stay safe. A fun guessing game at the end of the book introduces readers to the idea that some animals have as many as one-thousand eyes.
Reviews
“These titles introduce specific body parts and discuss their unique functions. These well-thought-out titles are suitable for beginning readers looking for some fascinating facts, and the excellent photography will draw them into the books. There is also a guessing game at the back of each volume. Solid additions to most collections.” (School Library Journal)
Behind the Book
“This is a book I’ve been wanting to write for years. As I did research for other books about animals, I couldn’t help but notice that not all animals see the world the way we do. Amazing Eyes Up Close finally gave me a chance to share all the fun eye facts I’ve been collecting.”
