Illustrated by
Tuesday Mourning.
Princess Peepers adores her glasses, but after her peers razz her about them, she tries (futilely) to function specs-free; Mourning's visuals, heavy with purples and pinks, deliver the slapstick. Peepers reconsiders her specs for a less than practical reason (the prince wears them, too), but the story feels fresh throughout--no easy feat for a princess book.
