Why this book counts

  • Life Science
  • Physics & Energy
  • Story / Adventure
  • Nature Narrative / Field Discovery

A beginning reader gives a child the eyes of a chameleon, colossal squid, or another animal and follows what the changed view might allow. The mirror-and-body-swap premise turns optical structure and habitat needs into funny tests of what counts as useful vision.

The science inside

  • Anatomy & Physiology
  • Sound & Light
  • Animals & Zoology

Your child will meet:

  • Eyes detect light, while their size, position, movement, and sensitivity affect the information an animal receives.
  • Different visual systems trade among field of view, depth information, detail, color, and low-light sensitivity.
  • An eye adaptation is useful in the environment and behavior for which it functions.
  • No animal vision system is simply best at every visual task.

Use it this way

Choose one animal eye and fill in structure, light condition, useful task, and funny human mismatch, then compare it with a second eye without ranking either as universally better; use pictures only and never obstruct vision, shine lights into eyes, or imitate visual impairment.

Parent effort: No prep

If you could have any animal's eyes, whose would you choose?

What if you woke up one morning and your eyes weren't yours?

Sandra Markle's bestselling What If You Had... series is now in Scholastic's Level 2 reader format! Perfect for kids just learning to read independently, this imaginative book explores what would happen if you looked in the mirror and saw a pair of animal eyes instead of your own.

From the chameleon's eyes that can point in different directions, to the colossal squid's eyes that shine in the dark, discover what it would be like if you had these special eyes. Then, find out why your eyes are just the right ones for you!
