"This
picture book for young readers is a riot of colour from cover to cover…Geoff
Kelly has developed a fine reputation as a children's book illustrator,
but this is award-winning adult writer Bernard Cohen's first picture
book. It draws on his own childhood experience of needing glasses,
is written from a the sympathetic older sister's perspective and it
rings true." — Margaret Hamilton, Australian Bookseller
and Publisher
“This
brightly coloured picture book oozes fun and playfulness, while discussing
an issue many school-aged children have had to deal with, that of
getting glasses.” — Magpies
"This
is an exceptional text… The story is effective, timely and very
relevant, told in a sensitive and engaging way. The way the print
reflects meaning is excellent, giving children another strategy to
decode print." — Caroline Barratt-Pugh, Early Childhood
Education, Edith Cowan University
