(4) K-3 "Rex did NOT like his specs...AT ALL!" Loosely rendered, borderline-abstract watercolor illustrations depict Rex, an animal character, unhappily coping with his new eyeglasses at home and at school. Rex turns the corner when he locates his teacher's whistle and gains his classmates' admiration. This is a didactic but adequately entertaining introduction to the subject of kids getting glasses.
