Reach for this book when your child first hears they need glasses and responds with tears, refusal, or worries about looking different. It is an essential tool for the 'I don't want to' phase of getting new frames, using humor and absurdity to dismantle the fear of being teased. The story follows a young boy who is incredibly resistant to his eye doctor's news. Instead of a lecture on health, the doctor provides a wild, surreal, and hilarious list of all the cool and unexpected beings who wear glasses, from robots to prehistoric creatures. It transforms a medical necessity into a gateway for imagination, helping children see glasses not as a flaw, but as a badge of individuality and belonging in a creative world.
