Praise for Blink!

“This nonfiction title explores the structure and workings of the eyes of various species…Each spread is dedicated to one animal, with a close-up painted illustration of the animal’s eye, two verses about the species in general and how its eyesight helps it function, and two more more additional facts…The verse is rhythmic and poetic, sometimes rhyming or near rhyming, often captivating with detailed description of an animal in action so readers can almost see the scene. The paintings are impressively detailed and beautiful to look at, with vivid color wash and careful lines, blending art and science to great effect. Children who love animals and nature facts will adore this volume…A strong addition to the nonfiction shelf.”

“This book is poetic, artistic, and educational all rolled into one! Children and adults alike will be enthralled with Blink! On the surface, this book appears to be about the eyesight of various creatures around the world, but it is actually so much more. …. Each animal is given a few pages of information and illustrations about their unique ability to see, how this is used to help them survive, how their sight has adapted to their environment…The text is written with occasional end rhymes which creates a flow to the animal facts and makes it all feel a little less technical and almost more of a story…illustrations are very eye-catching (no pun intended!) and really add a special bonus to this book…Perfect for an elementary school science classroom.”
