This sweet story of a boy who needs glasses is the perfect book to read to a child who will be visiting the optometrist. I read it to my class of first and second graders, and all were enthralled. Those children who had already visited an eye doctor were especially eager to share their personal connections to the story. You don't need to wear glasses, however, to enjoy this heartwarming story of a special relationship between mother and child.

I work in an optometric office, and we purchased two copies for our waiting area. This book gives not only accurate descriptions of vision issues that our young patients may have, but also describes in quite un-scary language, with great illustrations, what a detailed eye exam will involve, including receiving the drops to dilate their eyes. It sends the message that, although the equipment used may be quite intimidating to the young patients, the end result, improved eyesight, is indeed a blessing.

My nephew has just been through the same experience as the boy in Glasses, Glasses, Oh What Do I see. The humor and open approach to getting help with glasses is right on the money. I'd recommend this for any child and parent (or teacher) that is going through this. And - the pictures are great!

My kids and I love reading this book together. I was really impressed with the extensive resource list the author put in the back of the book. Great book, even if you don't have or need glasses.

Ran across this cute book in Waiting Room. Thought it was excellent. Had my children needed glasses this would have been a "must share" with them.

We bought this book for our daughter when she needed to get glasses at 15 months. The premise is good, but the execution annoys me. The illustrations are poor and make some of the characters look downright scary. The author tries to get cute and use "I's" instead of "eyes", but does so inconsistently which just makes it seem wrong instead of cute. But who am I to judge, my daughter loves it.

A creative, child friendly tale that should help any child suffering from vision problems have a better understanding of his/her situation. Beautifully illustrated and fun to read. I've recommended this book to several parents. My entire family enjoyed sharing this book together.
