[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Mum, The Fairies Stole my Glasses" by Tracey C Ayres.]
Mum, The Fairies Stole my Glasses by Tracey C. Ayres is a picture storybook for children. The book is about Sally, a girl who has difficulty seeing clearly without her glasses. One day, Sally was trying out her t-shirts in front of the mirror, but none of them seemed to go with her glasses. Hence, she carelessly flung the glasses away. Soon, her mother notices Sally isn't wearing her glasses and asks her to go and wear them.
After searching for the glasses in her room to no avail, Sally tells her mother that the fairies must have stolen her glasses. She even shows her mother some weird footprints on her window sill. Did the fairies truly steal Sally's glasses? Will she ever find her glasses again? You have to get this book and let the kids find out.
After reading this book, I invited my five-year-old niece to join me in reading it for the second time. I must say it was a wonderful experience, even though retrieving my reading device from her after the read became an issue. I could see that she thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. She even asked if I could let her visit her friends with my reading device. Funny girl!
What I liked the most about this book is its intriguing storyline. More than anything else, I noticed how eager my niece was to find out what happened to Sally's glasses. Therefore, I believe children will be engrossed in the book's fascinating story. It is simple but charming. Also, I liked the aura of suspense created by the author to keep children interested in the book till the end of it.
Furthermore, the colorful pictures in the book are very appealing. I enjoyed how they provided pictorial insights into the book's story. Children would identify and relate to Sally easily. The corresponding pictures for the on-page narrations would also make the book easy to understand. More so, I like that there are illustrations of people, animals, and objects mentioned in the book because they would make the story more exciting for children.
Nevertheless, I appreciate the educative aspect of the book. I must applaud the author for introducing new words to the target audience. For example, my niece asked me for the meaning of "optometrist," which I gladly obliged. There was nothing at all to dislike about this fascinating book. It is exceptionally edited and devoid of any errors. Therefore, I am happy to rate it a well-deserved four out of four stars. I am also highly recommending it to children between the age of three and six.
