The Queen's Shadow: A Story About How Animals See

40 pp. | Kids Can | March, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-894786-60-7 $16.95
(4) K-3 When a queen's shadow is stolen during a ball, a sharp-eyed mantis shrimp questions a disparate menagerie of suspects. Along with each creature's claim of innocence, boxed text offers some scientific information about its vision. Coupled with appropriately surrealist images, the weirdly engaging narrative may confuse some readers. Information about the physiology of vision and additional facts about the animals are appended. Glos.
