Eyes and Ears
Grade 3-5-Simon presents information on the structure and function of these sensory organs in concise terms. The now-familiar oversized format of this author's work is well suited for the photos of rods and cones, eardrums, and cochlear and optic nerves. The text clearly explains the anatomy and physiology of the eye and ear, and also includes information on optical illusions, blind spots, and the role of the ear in keeping our balance. The writing is well organized and succinct, providing enough information for reports but not so much as to overwhelm young readers. The clear illustrations complement the text, and the close-up color photos are, as always, quite impressive. An excellent overview.Christine A.
