A
lion named Rex has new glasses, they are big and red and he is not particularly
fond of them.
From the moment he pops them on his cute little face, he is not
impressed. He spends his morning and school day trying to hide them in the most
peculiar places.
Rex is so embarrassed by his glasses, that he even tries to
hide himself and covers them in paint during art class.
Through
a series of events, Rex soon finds the benefits of his glasses, and he
discovers that they can be great. They help him see properly, and he uses this
ability to save the day, scoring him a gold star, and even helping him make a
new friend.
The
story sends a nice message about embracing change and how being different and
standing out from the crowd can be pretty great. A relatable story for anyone
who has had new glasses and a helpful book for young children going through the
process of beginning to wear glasses.
