Description
Fall in love with the amazing lenses that help us see
So many of us wear glasses. They help us read, work and play. They are for the young and old, for bookworms and professional athletes, and are used by people in every country around the world.
Learn how glasses bend light and what color blindness really means. How tears work and why we have eyelids. Learn all about the human eye, and about the extraordinary vision of cats, birds and flies. Take a tour through the long history of eyeglasses and learn about optical illusions, 3-D glasses and why pandas seem to be wearing spectacles.
Packed with fun comics, puzzles and games, Extraordinary Eyeglasses will help young readers understand how wearing glasses is like having a superpower!

Featured Reviews
Extraordinary Eyeglasses is a great book for children and adults alike, the illustrations are a delight and the information is accessible and interesting.
The learning aspect of the book makes the prospect of glasses less daunting for children and the addition of puzzles and quizzes is a good way to engage any child!
I also very much enjoyed the adventures of Beryl who features through the book.
This will be An excellent addition to our children’s non fiction collection.
Thank you Netgalley for the ARC for me to review.
This is a very comprehensive book on vision not just eyeglasses. It gives you the history of eyeglasses as well as eye disorders and information on animal vision. There is also included some quizzes, comics and a maze. I could see checking out this book for a child that was just prescribed glasses.
Come with Caroline Stevan to learn about how eyes work and the history and improvements in eyeglasses! Well done!
The illustrations by François Vigneault are fun, simple, brilliantly colorful, and delightful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school, church library, vision care office, or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Helvetiq via NetGalley. Thank you! Available Sept 10, 2024
