This was my favorite book as a child. 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I treasured this book as a child. My allowance was usually spent on books, stuffed animals or candy. I don't really have anything left from my childhood spending sprees except a worn, fragile copy of Piping Down the Valleys Wild that I spent 95 cents for in the early 70s. This is the most wonderful collection of children's poems that I have ever come across. Both adults and children are brought to laughter at the antics of "Eat it Alll Elaine", "Catherine"s sharing of her mud cake, or the little boy in "Missing" asking Aunt Rose if she's seen his mouse. The poems are wonderfully visual and instilled in me a love of poetry that I still have today. This remains my all time favorite book of poetry and I'm glad it was re-issued so that I might share this gift with my son and give him his own copy to take with him.

Editorial Review:

Here is a rich and varied collection of poetry for use by children, parents and teachers. The introduction includes advice on choosing poetry for children and reading poetry aloud.

Great for little girls with new glasses! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Spectacles is a great book for little girls that have just received their first pair of glasses. Getting glasses can be traumatic for some little girls, but this book shows how important glasses are. Iris sees things in a cloudy way. She thinks items around her home are different animals and dragons. In reality, when she puts her glasses on she realizes that the animals are really furniture, plants and sometimes people. The ending of the book is fun, because my daughter could relate to trying on the different kinds of glasses. She especially liked the movie star glasses. It is a great book for 4-9 year old kids, especially girls. I wish it was not out of print, because I recommend this book to everyone that is getting new glasses.

Editorial Review:

Nearsighted Iris Fogel says that she sees a fire-breathing dragon and a giant pygmy nuthatch. Iris finally gets glasses and sees things in a different--and clearer--way! Four-color and black-and-white illustrations.
