Reviews / Votes
"The lively design is attractive and appealing; the information is helpful, likely to answer the kinds of questions readers have....The use of infobits will appeal to browsers, but the addition of extensive resources, a glossary, and an index makes this useful for elementary school researchers as well. A wide-ranging and engaging survey." * Kirkus Reviews * "Kids who are into statistics, charts, comparisons, and random facts will enjoy these colorful, graphic-rich two-page spreads devoted to all sorts of information about eyes....he amazing animal photos and satisfying alignment between text and illustrations are additional draws. This is a good starting place for either budding opthamologists or student researchers."* Booklist * "Colorful photos, charts, and graphics give punch to this informational text for younger children.....Overall, this book provides the reader with a good overview of eyes and may stimulate the desire to know more. Recommended" * School Library Connection *

Person
Dorothea DePrisco grew up in a small Long Island south shore hamlet, Blue Point. As a child, she wrote stories and drew pictures about her neighbors and handed them out as gifts. She fondly remembers the joy on people's faces when they read her stories, and this memory drives her to spark the imagination of children every day. A former editor at Scholastic Book Clubs and a high school English teacher, she has written more than 90 books for young readers. Recent titles include Smithsonian Discover: Earth, Discovery Spaceopedia, Animal Planet Baby Animals, and Who's in the Ocean? She lives in Vacaville, CA.
