Review Detail

Maisy Goes to the Eye Doctor is a wonderful book that introduces the idea of going to the optometrist to preschool children. The illustrative style indicative of Lucy cousin’s Maisy series makes the idea of needing glasses a colorful and joyful experience. It uses big words like Optometrist making this a great book for a grown-up to read with a child or class to learn about the concept. Maisy’s friend, Ella needs glasses and the forthright writing style shows there is nothing to fear in an appointment and that Ella is happy with her new glasses and getting to see better. Overall, the positive message and brightly colorful illustrations normalize vision healthcare and glasses to young audiences.
