This book was very good. It was about a little girl who discovered she needed to wear glasses and a patch to help her see better. At first she did not like this because she thought she would be weird and people would laugh at her. However, when she went to school she made the best of it and made up stories as to why she needed the glasses. I liked this book because it seemed like it would be very relatable for kids to read. When students are younger many of them discover they need glasses. This can be a scary realization for kids because they fear they may get made fun of or weird looks. Therefore, maybe after reading this books students may not feel as scared or weird about wearing glasses. ( )

Love the concept of becoming comfortable in her own skin. Even though she has to get glasses she is still told she can do anything she sets her mind to. I think this is great for young kids to show them it doesn't matter if they are different they can be anything in life. I love the colorful illustration and the facial expressions the illustrator portrayed. ( )

Using text to text connections with the book, I Can See Just Fine by Eric Barclay. This book is good for Kindergarten to 2nd grade readers. This book is good to relate to students who are struggling with accepting the fact that glasses are OK and not a bad thing. Both characters in the books struggle accepting that they need glasses and that with glasses they are no different.

When five-year-old Becca discovers she needs glasses and an eye patch to correct her vision, she exclaimes, "Ballerinas don't wear glasses, and they especially do NOT wear patches!" Becca, embarrassed by her new accessory, refuses to get out of bed the next morning until her older brother offers his pirate costume. Becca finally gains confidence and decides to take her classmates on crazy adventures when they ask why she is wearing a patch. Her friends play along but keep asking why she wears the patch. Finally, the teacher asks Becca to tell her classmates the real reason, and Becca finally isn't afraid to tell her classmates the truth, that she has a lazy eye. Her classmates still accept her as the same Becca, and one student even says, "No fair!" This is a great story about not letting differences define our character or hold us back. Becca makes the best of her situation by taking her friends on crazy adventures. He friends don't give up on her, but rather are intrigued by her being different. By the end, a once self-conscious Becca is a confident, strong, proud girl who understands how fun being different can be. I loved this book! ( )

When Becca turned five, she went for her check ups and it shown that her left eye wasn’t reading as clearly as it should. Becca had to wear an eye patch and glasses which she wasn’t so fond of. Becca completely refused to wear any color glasses until she came across a pink patch and purple glasses that were ballerina appropriate. Everyone wanted to know why she had them but Becca never told the real answer until the end of class. I personally think that Becca didn’t want to be teased for the reason she had to wear the eye patch. She didn’t want to be different from her classmates. So she came up with all those imaginary reasons as to why she had to wear it. Which I think is really smart because then the students all wanted eye patches. Becca wouldn’t be any different from them if they all had eye patches now would she? ( )
