review 1: The illustrations take this clever book about needing glasses over the top. Details in the illustrations elevate the humor of the text and clue readers in to the falseness of Paige's claim to "see just fine". I've shown this to friends and colleagues who wear glasses who confirm that it authentically portrays the experience of getting a first pair of glasses with humor both adult and child can enjoy. The interaction at the end of the book between Paige and her mother was genuine and a perfect note to end on, although on some of the pages proceeding it the over-the-top moments felt a bit forced. Overall, an excellent book to share with kids in grades K-2.
review 2: Paige is having trouble seeing but won't admit to it, "I can see just fine." The book has great li... morettle picture clues that help the reader understand why see doesn't see too well - like her upside down book, mismatched shoes, mistaking a skunk for a cat, etc. The story follows her to the eye doctor and to the store to pick out new frames. The ending mirrors the beginning at school, at home, etc. as she now can see very well. This was a great story at PreK storytime. It was a great length, funny, and the kids did better than me picking up on little picture clues. LOVED IT! This would also be a good book to use with a child who will be visiting the eye doctor for the first time and or getting new glasses. less
