Blueberry Eyes

Rating:
Summary: Very Negative book
Review: Blueberry Eyes was written to help a little girl cope with various eye problems including wearing glasses at a very young age (four months), wearing an eye patch and going through eye surgery. It is very detailed, and sometimes uses words that are more complex than they have to be (corridor for hallway). The child telling the story is a seven-year-old girl, and the illustrations are darling. She is depicted as cute and happy wearing her glasses. She is also depicted as having red, sore eyes after surgery, but the pictures are not frightening at all.

This book had more information than I needed to prepare my four-year-old for her first pair of glasses. When reading it to her I deleted most of the surgery discussion since that didn't concern us. It was helpful to see little girls wearing glasses, and my daughter was engaged by the illustrations and the story. I plan to recommend this book to my eye care professional as a reference for patients.

Summary: I love This BOOK!
Review: I bought this book because my 1 year old son has vision issues and was about to undergo Strabismus Surgery. This Book has been a great help to our family. My daughter was able to understand more about her brothers eye issues after I read this book to her than if I was to try to explain it myself. The little girl in the story, Meaghan, touched my heart and reading her story has helped us to understand how a child feels about his/her eye condition. I have recomended this book to many others as a Must Read for the entire family, especially when faced with a vision problem!..

Summary: Very Negative book
Review: My 3 1/2 year old daughter had to have eye surgery and I was looking for a book to read so she would feel comfortable with the whole process. I thought this would be a good one, but was I wrong! Not only does it put a very negative spin on the whole thing, but it also has the potential to put a lot of ideas into kid's heads. I ended up writing my own book.
