This months book is Rex's Specs By Jack Hughes
Rex, the tiny T-Rex, has to wear glasses, but sometimes he wishes he didn't have to. So one day, he decides to go out without them. But oh no! What's that ahead? Watch out, Rex!
This engaging story helps all children to understand what it is like to wear glasses, why some people like wearing them and yet others don't, and how friends can help you when you feel upset. It's the ideal book for a child who wear glasses, and also a useful classroom resource to help explain why some people wear glasses and others don't.
