Title: Glamorous Glasses
Author: Barbara Johansen Newman
Publisher: Boys Mills Press, 2012
Ages 4-8
Bobbie and her best cousin Joanie do everything together. So it's no surprise when Joanie needs to get glasses, Bobbie jumps at the chance to go along with her. After trying on zillions of different spectacles Joanie reluctantly agrees to a blue pair with flecks of gold that turned up at the ends like a smiley mouth. Bobbie picked a red and white striped pair that she thought made her look glamorous! Unfortunately for Bobbie, she didn't need eyeglasses and her mom said, "No way!" The girls eventually devise a plan for both of them to look and feel glamorous and hijinx ensue.
A spin on the classic "grass is always greener" tale that will interest many young children, especially those that find themselves amidst four-eyed misfortune. The delightful illustrations will appeal to all. Best for ages 4 to 8.
