Eye to Eye: How Animals See the World — Steve Jenkins

In his latest eye-popping work of picture book nonfiction, the Caldecott Honorâ€"winning author-illustrator Steve 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.
