The story is a little strange (and I'm not sure I want kids thinking it's okay to go searching the woods at night!), but the illustration style is adorable.

Note: I received a digital review copy of this book through NetGalley.

Gracie Meets a Ghost (A Gracie Wears Glasses Book) par Keiko Sena

This is a cute silly story that had the opportunity to teach a lesson on self-esteem but falls short in that area.

Gracie the bunny is having trouble seeing so gets herself some glasses. Her friends make fun of her but she still wears them. When she realizes that she has lost her glasses while playing on the mountain, she heads off at night to find them. I really identify with this part of the story as I have been wearing glasses since I was 9 years old and can not remember how many times I misplaced them. There are some funny moments when she pokes the owl thinking it is her glasses and when she grabs the mouse's tail thinking it is the arm to her glasses. When the sad ghost tries to scare her, she can not see it so is not scared. There is an example of helping when the ghost looks for and finds the glasses for Gracie and she is sorry that her new friend disappears before she can thank him. Overall a simple cute story with cute illustrations that little ones would enjoy.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.… (plus d'informations)

Gracie Meets a Ghost (A Gracie Wears Glasses Book) par Keiko Sena

I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

In this cute picture book, Gracie is a bunny who has new glasses. She loses them on the mountain one day so she decides to go there to get them back. Without her glasses, she doesn't see well, at all. So when a ghost appears it doesn't scare her at all, because she cannot see it.

I love this book and I believe that my grandchildren will also.

Gracie Meets a Ghost (A Gracie Wears Glasses Book) par Keiko Sena

A perfectly timed ghost story for children! Gracie is bespectacled rabbit who loses her glasses while playing in the mountains with her friends. She goes in search of them, bumbling around into other animals, helpless without her glasses. A friendly looking ghost attempts to scare her, however, because she cannot see the ghost she isn’t frightened. She promises she will look at the ghost once her glasses are found. The ghost appears kind and searches all night for her glasses. Upon putting the glasses on, it is daylight, and the ghost has now vanished. This is a cute ghost story that is nonthreatening. It is a story that would be great to read with a child who needs to wear glasses, as the book brings up some great talking points around this. The illustrations are playful and sweet. I recommend this book for children ages 3-5, especially those who might need glasses.

Thanks to net galley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
