The Eyeball Alphabet Book by Jerry Palotta and Shennen Bersani - ESSENTIAL

The Eyeball Alphabet Book by Jerry Palotta, illustrated by Shennen Bersani
. NON-FICTION PICTURE BOOK. Charlesbridge, 2021. $18. 9781570917103 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

You would think that a non-fiction book about animal eyes would be best with photographs as illustrations. But Bersani’s illustrations are so gorgeous – they feel much better than photographs. Of course, Pallotta uses his characteristic humor to lift the information to another interactive-with-chuckles level. He even includes eye-related idioms on each page. The cover will draw the readers in, and the book itself will hold their attention. I can just imagine these pages on the big screen through a data projector.
