Extraordinary Eyeglasses: The Amazing Invention That Helps Us See

Extraordinary Eyeglasses: The Amazing Invention That Helps Us See includes a lot of facts about eyeglasses (how they work, how they’re made, why we need them) and about our eyes in general (what they look like to a doctor, what near and far-sightedness mean). There are many facts, but in between them are fun activities that are eye/vision-related (maze, dot-to-dot, braille code, etc.) and a short story about a girl with “special” spectacles.

The illustrations help to understand what’s happening, but this book is also good for all readers because there’s always something to learn at every age!

I don’t have to wear glasses yet, but because there are others in my family who do, I wonder about it; now I feel more informed when/if my time comes for some extra help. I like how this book makes learning fun and easy and it thinks of kids by including the extra activities to use different parts of our brains and not tire them out.
