Reviews

[Kat]

Started awfully by rhyming exploring with warning. Boring story and no stegosaurus present and a very greedy T. Rex who takes more glasses than he needs.

[Concetta Kellough]

This is an early reader book about needing glasses. I like that it had fun things to do at the end, such as finding differences in two pictures and finding hidden objects in another.

[McKenzie Cooley]

Adorable book for those who love Dino’s but also to help kids understand eye exams if they need glasses
