Starred Review Eye by Eye

Comparing How Animals See

From the Series Animal by Animal

  • Interest Level: Kindergarten - Grade 4
  • Reading Level: Grade 3

An innovative look at animal eyes from the creators of Bone by Bone, Tooth by Tooth, and Fossil by Fossil.

What kind of animal would you be if you had eight eyes? Or if your pupils were the shape of the letter W? Keep an eye out for weird and surprising facts in this playful picture book, which brings together comparative anatomy with a guessing game format. See how your animal eyes are like—and unlike—those of starfish, spiders, goats, cuttlefish, owls, and slugs. Author Sara Levine and illustrator T.S Spookytooth present an insightful view of all eyes can do!

“The brilliant pairing of author, educator, and veterinarian Levine and artist with a funny bone Spookytooth yields a mix of fun, facts, and conjecture. A fabulous addition to classroom studies of animals and nonfiction literature. Also perfect for personal enjoyment.”—starred, School Library Journal

Kirkus Reviews

“[P]ictures of children with extra eyes, moving eyes, antennae, and animalistic pupils are intriguingly bizarre to look at and will likely keep curious children coming back to this book for stares and giggles.”—Kirkus Reviews
