What was the title of a vintage children’s book about a girl who gets glasses?
I remember reading it between 1964- 1970 but it may have been written before that. The book may have been a Little Golden Book, Junior Elf book, or Wonder Book as it was not long and had many pictures.I seem to recall a picture of a weeping willow tree that she was able to see much clearer after she got her glasses. I believe this book was sold in grocery stores. I would appreciate the title to find it once again.
Spectacles by Ellen Raskin
“A nearsighted little girl talks about and shows some of the unusual things she saw before being fitted with glasses.”
Published in 1969 by Atheneum

“Iris Fogel knew something was wrong when she began seeing fire-breathing dragons and giant kangaroos. And when the dragon turned out to be her great-aunt and the kangaroo her friend Chester, everyone else did too. Iris needed glasses.
Ellen Raskin’s surprising tale of two different ways of seeing will delight children and adults alike.”
