Glamorous Glasses

This darling picture book is about Joanie, a young girl who learns that she needs glasses.  She goes into town with her mother, aunt and cousin, Barbara Louise to pick them out.  The girls are dazzled by all the glamorous eye wear choices and Barbara Louise becomes quite jealous that she doesn’t need glasses.  She tries everything to convince her mother that she needs them, but to no avail.  When Joanie becomes disenchanted with her glasses, the girls switch and Barbara Louise tries wearing them with silly consequences.  In the end, the girls decide to return the glasses to Joanie.  Walking home, they came upon a yard sale and Barbara Louise finds a treasure, her own pair of glamorous glasses without the lenses!  The style of this book reminds me of the Fancy Nancy series and the girls are accessorized to the hilt and very focuses on their appearance.  The illustrations are bright, colorful, and cartoonish.  The wonderful cover art is sure to draw in young readers.  This fun book is perfect for a girl who is new to wearing glasses.
