Great for little girls with new glasses!

Spectacles is a great book for little girls that have just received their first pair of glasses. Getting glasses can be traumatic for some little girls, but this book shows how important glasses are. Iris sees things in a cloudy way. She thinks items around her home are different animals and dragons. In reality, when she puts her glasses on she realizes that the animals are really furniture, plants and sometimes people. The ending of the book is fun, because my daughter could relate to trying on the different kinds of glasses. She especially liked the movie star glasses. It is a great book for 4-9 year old kids, especially girls. I wish it was not out of print, because I recommend this book to everyone that is getting new glasses.
