In his latest eye-popping work of picture book nonfiction, the Caldecott Honor?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.

Since then, animals have evolved an amazing variety of eyes, along with often surprising ways to use them.
