Overview
From award-winning illustrator Guillaume Duprat, children will see exactly how animals view the world around them in this innovative and exciting lift-the-flap book. Ever wonder what your cat is watching through the window? Or how having eyes on the sides of its head changes the world for a horse? And what would life be like seeing in 5 colours instead of only 3? After a whirlwind tour of how eyes work, children will lift the flaps to find out how animals as different as dogs, owls, and chameleons see the same scene. EYE SPY: Wild Ways Animals See the World is a truly eye-opening experience guaranteed to fuel and satisfy the curiosity of any animal-lover.

Reviews
STARRED REVIEW Keen looks into, and through, a wide range of animal eyes...Even readers disinclined to care much about ommatidia or the difference between dichromat and trichromat retinas will be riveted by the experience of lifting flaps and literally (with the given proviso that we must imagine what birds and other animals who see into the ultraviolet perceive) seeing through new eyes. Eye-widening indeed-in design as well as topic. * Kirkus * THIS BOOK IS CLEVER! You see the eyes of different creatures, and then you get to see the world the way they do.Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal
