Douglas is a little dog with a BIG problem in the adorable picture book Douglas, You need Glasses! by author/illustrator Ged Adamson. Adamson channels his own issues with vision into the accessible and humor-filled story that will help young children understand that there is nothing scary about getting glasses, and that not everyone has perfect eyesight.Synopsis:
Meet Douglas, a dog with a big problem: he needs eyeglasses but doesn’t know it, and his bad eyesight tends to land him in some pretty hairy situations.
After an eye exam confirms that Douglas needs glasses, and Nancy helps him find the perfect pair, readers will rejoice with Douglas as he sees all the amazing things he’s been missing!
Our thoughts:
This is such a cute and funny story. My kids laughed through this entire book, and any kids that have been told they needed glasses can totally relate to this story. I think what makes this story so funny is that we all know that dogs don’t wear glasses, but poor Douglas just couldn’t see a thing. Filled with colorful and fun illustrations, this story is sure to big a hit with all ages. I also love how the back of the book is a spotlights different children all proudly wearing their glasses.
Douglas, You Need Glasses is currently available with a SRP of $16.99 (hardcover).
