About This Book
This charming early chapter book follows Wagner, a mouse, as he navigates the common childhood experience of getting glasses for the first time. Initially hesitant and worried about looking different, Wagner's journey is made easier by the unwavering support and clever ideas of his best friend, Pearl, a rabbit. The story gently explores themes of self-acceptance, friendship, and overcoming minor anxieties, making it a perfect read for children aged 4-7 who might be facing similar changes or simply enjoy a heartwarming tale of animal friends.
When Wagner's eye test shows that he needs glasses, it takes him a little while--and some help from his friends--to adjust to his new look.
