Look and See

With the help of charming text and bright pictures, children can learn about the richness of sight. But the book’s goal is not to explain how the sense of sight works. Instead, toys and tools, birds and bugs, flowers and fish, all invite readers to look carefully. Soon they’ll be making comparisons and identifying patterns in what they see.
