Cover image for Eye to eye : how animals see the worldSteve Jenkins has quite a few amazing nonfiction animal books and this one doesn’t disappoint!  In Eye to Eye, you can learn how different animals have various types of eyes depending on their environment.  For example, did you know that a halibut (fish) is born with an eye on each side of his head, but as he gets older, one eye migrates and eventually they end up on the same side of his head?  He has 2 eyes on one side of his head!  This ends up being very helpful since an adult halibut spends most of its life lying on the bottom of the ocean.  With both eyes on one side of his head he is able to see away from the ocean floor.  How cool is that?

20 animal eyes are featured with great pictures, animal facts and a glossary.
