Wearing Glasses

Wearing Glasses

Wearing glasses for the first time doesn't have to be scary. Readers learn what it's like to wear glasses and how it helps improve one's vision. The sensitive tone promotes acceptance and understanding of those who wear glasses, helping young readers become more empathetic toward their peers. It is also relatable for those who already wear glasses and is comforting to those preparing to receive their first pair of glasses. The illustrated characters, such as "Ernie Eyeball" and "Lucy Lens," educational fact boxes, and an informative glossary enhance this volume and make learning about everyday science and technology topics fun
