Gracie has been having trouble seeing lately, so she gets a pair of glasses. One day, while playing on the mountain, she realizes her glasses are missing and heads back out to find them. However, a bored ghost lurking in the darkness tries to scare her. But since Gracie can't see well without her glasses, she doesn't react to the ghost at all. Frustrated, the ghost ends up helping her search for the glasses all night. The twist comes when Gracie finally puts them on—what happens next is a surprise!

This book features excellent illustrations that really bring the story to life. The tale itself is silly, cute, and full of charm. It’s an easy read, perfect for younger readers, and carries lovely themes about friendship, decision-making, and helping others. While it has a ghost, it’s not scary at all. Overall, it’s a delightful, lighthearted read with a fun message.

A sweet book about a young girl Gracie who wears glasses and a ghost that offers to help her find her glasses, so thag he may scare. There isn’t really a moral or a lesson learnt in this book, but its fun enough that most young children will enjoy it.

So Kawaii! (4 stars)

There's something delightfully old-school about this translation. I've always been fond of Japanese children's books for some reason and this one is just as adorable as the ones I remember from my childhood.

From what I can tell there are other Gracie Wears Glasses stories that haven't been translated yet so I hope to see them available soon. I think any young child who wears glasses would enjoy them.

Review:

Gracie is a bunny who needs to wear glasses so she can read her books. When she goes outside to play, she ends up losing her glasses. By the time she realizes that the glasses are missing, she goes to find them in the dark. While she is looking for the glasses, a ghost tries to scare Gracie. But she cannot see him without her glasses. So the ghost decides to help Gracie find her glasses in the hopes that he can still scare her after her glasses are found. By the time they are found, it is daylight and the ghost disappears.

This is a cute story for children. The words are age appropriate and are ones that a child will understand. The pictures are colorful and add to the story.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a funny story to the children in their lives. This book would make a great addition to a family library or that of a preschool.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a honest review. I would like to thank NetGalley and Museyon for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I found the book a bit odd. It is not scary for kids at all and I think they would like this story.
