Author: Dr. Seuss (Writing as Theo. LeSing)
Illustrator: Joe Mathieu
Publisher: Bright and Early Board Books, 2001
ISBN: 0-375-81240-7
Summary: This board book talks all about our eyes and the things that we are able to see with them. A boy and a bunny go through the book pointing out the different things that our eyes can see, from objects to colors to people. In the end, both yell "Hooray for eyes!" for showing us the world.
Evaluation: In true Dr. Seuss fashion, this board book follows a rhyming rhythm throughout the text. Because of this, the text of the book flows nicely. While this book is more wordy than the other two board books I reviewed, there were not too many words on each page, and the words were broken up by pictures, which I thought was a nice touch since kids tend to not want to look at a page filled with only words. The illustrations to go along with the text were very well done. Because of the boy and the bunny in the book who were looking at all of the objects mentioned, the pictures were not simply of just that object. For example, when the book states that our eyes can see the sun, instead of just a picture of a sun, it is a picture of the boy and the bunny with sunglasses on looking up at the bright shining sun above them. I thought that this was one of the best aspects of the book as a whole.
Rating: I would give this board book 4/5 stars.

Sarah, I read this book before and I feel that Dr. Seuss portrays the story to be realistic. They use so many things that children can relate too and what they normally see at their age!
