"Though Paige claims, 'I can see just fine,' her parents grow concerned and decide it's time for Paige to visit the eye doctor. Paige remains defiant until she finds the perfect frames and more importantly, perfect eyesight"-- - Harry N. Abrams, Inc.Author/illustrator Eric Barclayâs picture book I Can See Just Fine is âa gentle way to introduce the topic of eyeglasses with a resistant child and what to expect in finding a solutionâ (Shelf Awareness for Readers).
Â
Paige is just like every other kid. She goes to school. She practices her violin. She plays outside. The only problem is, she cannot quite see the chalkboard, her sheet music, or anything else! Despite Paigeâs repeated refrain of âI can see just fine,â the comical illustrations portray a different story. Paigeâs parents decide itâs time for her to visit the eye doctor, despite her protests.
Â
But Paigeâs stubbornness quickly dissolves as she braves an enthralling eye checkup, enjoys a playful frame selection, and, most importantly, ends up with perfect eyesight! Author/illustrator Eric Barclay successfully depicts a very real and relevant issue with lightheartedness and gentle humor. Young readers will relate to Paigeâs journey and celebrate her triumph of seeing clearly in the end.
Â
âWith an attractive, clean layout and big speech bubbles, this story is one that young readers will easily follow as Paige ultimately triumphs with her new glasses.â âSchool Library Journal
