In this wordless picture book, Rosie's world goes from glum and gray to technicolor when she discovers a pair of magical glasses. She eventually loses them, but momentary anguish quickly fades when she realizes she no longer needs rose-colored lenses. The ink and watercolor illustrations perfectly capture her oppressive bad mood as well as her exuberant joy, and scenes from both viewpoints burst with details to discover.
