As an early childhood teacher, I am always looking for resources to help teach our students about helping professions in our community. These "community helpers" as we call them include different types of doctors, dentists, mail carriers, farmers, etc. This is a fantastic book to add to this collection as it teaches students the value of eye doctors for all ages and abilities!
This is also a valuable book to help ease children's nerves prior to a new type of doctor's visit and/or understand the different types of vision abilities. I have had a couple of students really struggle when they were told they needed to wear glasses, and I think a book like this would have helped their anxiety.
I thoroughly enjoyed the rhyme scheme and fun illustrations, creating a more engaging experience for children. I also loved to see the diversity represented within the book.
Overall, I highly recommend this book for an early childhood classroom library!
A cute guide to why everyone should get an eye exam, baby, child, adult, senior citizen, even a blind person. The book will help familiarize and make safe the upcoming trip to the optometrist. Brightly illustrated and well written, it is a pleasant approach to removing fears and insuring that eye care will be received. Useful.
Cute and rhyme sing songs. The illustrations were so cute. It’s diverse in showing different people with eye issues, some even disabilities.
This message is so important. When I write about the importance of getting eye exams, I go into detail about how important screening is. This little book goes much further, letting people know that vision exams are important if their vision is perfect or "hopeless." There is always some kind of care that will help.
I recommend this for all young readers.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
