Don't be discouraged though. At almost 4 1/2, he loves the book. There are bright and fun pictures of all types of children wearing all types of glasses. Every time he "reads" it to us, he changes the story a little. (Sometimes he tells us about the mommies and daddies wearing glasses, sometimes he talks about the different colors of glasses, etc.) His younger sister also loves the book and usually just yells, "Jack!" on every page. The rhyming story is a lot of fun, too and the board book format ensures that this book will last on the shelf for years to come.
Here's the best part: I have been asked to conduct a giveaway of the book and I have TWO copies to donate to a local school or library. To enter, leave a comment with your favorite color, school or library you would like the book donated to, and an email where I can reach you!
Drawing ends Thursday evening at midnight EST! Good luck!
My favorite color is the bright blue of Jack’s first glasses. I work at the Somerville Public Library in Massachusetts where we specialize in excellent service to the multi-cultural and immigrant population of our urban community. From early pre-literacy to lifelong learning programs, with books and materials in all the languages spoken in our neighborhoods, as well as free weekly English as a Second Language classes, we strive to represent all! We value the importance of children seeing themselves in books, and this much-needed little book will fit right in! I think it is also a book for all children of all ages!
