Summary: Positive Outlook
Comment: This is the only book I've found to have only a positive outlook on getting glasses. My daughter was rather young when we discovered she needed glasses and she didn't need a hard to understand book with a lot of negative connotation around having to wear glasses (although this book is great for kids of all ages). This book was just perfect. Since it puts only a positive spin on getting glasses we were able to actually get excited during our week-long wait before her glasses were ready. There should be more books out there like this one that completely avoid anything negative about having to wear glasses. After all, being able to see better is awesome!

Summary: All is better when you see!
Comment: Kate is a quiet child who is having trouble with her vision. Since she has several more boisterous siblings, she is often overlooked. When she gets lost at the beach her parents finally figure out that she can't see. They take her to an eye doctor who prescribes her a pair of glasses. This is a wondeful book. The illustrator draws what Kate sees so that the reader can appreciate her blurry vision. The book also addresses the fact that visual acuity can influence a child's behavior. Kate's quiet behavior may be due to being one of many children, but it is definitely exacerbated by her myopia. when Kate visits the eye doctor, there are many pieces of ophthalmic equipment in the room. Items such as a lensometer, a trial lens kit, and a phoropter lend authenticity to the office. I'm impressed that the eye doctor is trial frame refracting Kate in order to tweak her prescription. The rest of the book details the week wait that Kate endures before she receives her glasses. A lovely reference to "The Little Red Riding Hood" closes the book. "All the better to see you with!!"
