The book is so engaging and makes the children's attention to important matters in a colorful and interesting way. Very good choice for BOTD.

As I don't have kids, this BOTD is not for me, but I enjoyed your review. Children's books should be both educational and entertaining. It looks like this author hit the mark. Great for kids aged 3-5 years of age.

The book is very interesting and children will surely love the adventure of looking for the glasses and it will inspire parents to teach children how to be tidy and keep valuables safe especially when it is something that you need to use often like glasses. I love it. Great for kids 3 -5 year olds

Sally's carelessness cost her, and her glasses are lost—a lesson children would grasp from this book about being careless. Nice book children would enjoy. Excellent review.

Also, I liked the aura of suspense created by the author to keep children interested in the book till the end of it.
- If the book kept the children from age 3-6 years interested, then I applaud the author, for it isn't an easy task to do so. Thank you for making the review just as exciting.

Unfortunately, I have no memories of myself at the "picture storybook" age and it's hard for me to imagine what children will find appealing in such early years and this not taking into consideration changed times and customs of recent decades. I have no experience to base my opinion aside from claiming obvious educational value and admiring the illustration style and quality. Definitely deserves congrats on BOTD!

This illustrated children's storybook poses a mystery about Sally's glasses. I don't think the Fairies stole them. The story is simple but attractive for children. It seems like an excellent option for children between three and six.

A full fledged adult like me got trapped reading this book and can't wait to find out what really happened to Sally's glasses, how much more kids?
I have kids around me and reading this book aloud won't be a bad idea.
Thanks for the review.

Those naughty fairies! Or is it naughty Sally? This seems to be an entertaining read for the little ones. There should be moral lessons tucked in as well.

Wow even a sample caught my interest! I think A it’s a good book because it shows what can happen when you don’t put things back where they belong and B all sorts of kids (and adults) misplace things all the time so reading about how someone misplaced their glasses, kids can relate to it and become intrigued with where they went! Very cute book for sure!

This is an interesting children's book highlighting a unique protagonist in search of her glasses determined that fairies had taken them. The book is temporarily discounted on Amazon Kindle and has a masterfully crafted OnlineBookClub review. Congrats on the BOTD selection.
