About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their curious preschooler starts asking questions about how their body works, especially their eyes. "Our Eyes Can See" is a simple and engaging nonfiction early reader that explains the basic functions of sight: seeing colors, light and dark, and how pupils change. With its themes of curiosity and gratitude for our senses, it turns a science lesson into a moment of wonder. Perfect for ages 4 to 7, the book uses clear photographs and very simple text, making it accessible for emergent readers and a fantastic tool for parents to answer those tricky "how?" questions in a fun, interactive way.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book provides a straightforward, secular, and scientific explanation of sight. It focuses on typical vision and does not address blindness or visual impairments.
Ideal Reader
A curious 4 to 6 year old who is in the "why" and "how" phase of development and has started asking questions about their body. It's also excellent for an early reader gaining confidence with simple sentence structures or a child who learns best through hands on activities.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed; the book can be read cold. However, to get the most out of the interactive prompts, a parent might want to have a small mirror or a dimmable light source handy to experiment with pupils dilating. A child asks, "How do my eyes work?" or "Why can I see colors?" A parent is looking for a simple, scientifically accurate book to explain a basic biological concept without overwhelming a young child.
