This isn't my favorite of the series, but still thought I should mention it. I just don't think the different eyes are as "wow factoring" as noses and toes and tales and such.

This book is very engaging for readers because it has them think of their eyes like animals. It gets students excited to read about how animal eyes work.

This book is about wondering what it would be like if humans had animal eyes. The story goes through different types of animals stating their vision traits then gives a short imagine if prompt for the reader. This would be a great book for a science class learning about the different traits of animals. I really like that there are fact sections on each animal.

WHAT IF YOU HAD ANIMAL EYES!? By Sandra Markle is a fascinating nonfiction picture book examining the science of eyes.

Each book in the series includes the same elements. Eleven, two-page spreads introduce animals and facts about their eyes. Comparisons are then made with human eyes. The book concludes with benefits of human eyes, the science of eyes, and how to maintain healthy eyes.

Librarians will find the “What If You Had” series to be fun way to explore animal characteristics. Use the six books small groups. Then, use the Build Your Wild Self website at http://www.buildyourwildself.com/ to extend the experience through both science and creative writing.
