The sense of sight helps an animal stay safe from predators, find food and shelter, defend its territory and care for its young. We can tell a lot about an animal from its eyes: whether it is predator or prey, whether it is more active during the day or night, and sometimes even its gender or age. Award-winning nature photographer and environmental educator Mary Holland shares fascinating animal eyes with readers of all ages. Available in Spanish: Los ojos de los animales (ISBN: 9781628554625) With simple text and revealing close-up photographs, nature photographer Holland demonstrates how an animal’s eyes can tell us something about their owner. --Kirkus Reviews Animal lovers will appreciate the stunning photographs; captivating visuals of snakes, owls, and turtles dominate readers' attention while the text engages readers through vocabulary and questions. --Library Media Connection This would make a great early reader. --NSTA Recommends Mary Holland is a naturalist, nature photographer, columnist, and award-winning author with a life-long passion for natural history.
