'Official Review: Mum, The Fairies Stole My Glasses,' by Tracey C. Ayres well comprehends the children's story of the book for avid readers. It explains the reviewer's opinion about the book in clear terms for readers. The point that the book is about Sally, the girl who has difficulty seeing clearly without glasses is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that there are illustrations of people, animals, and objects mentioned in the book to make the story more exciting for children is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the educative aspect of the book is appreciable!

Picture books are a treasure for little children. The picture helps them to grasp quickly. I hope Sally can find her glasses back. Thanks for the review.

The book tells an interesting story of Sally and her missing glasses. Infused with pictures and ideas, children have a lot to learn from the book. Congratulations on BOTD.

Mum, the fairies stole my glasses
Nonessential children’s book. A good attempt at youthful inexperienced writing.
Congratulations on being BOTD

Picture stories appeal to children a lot. It is thoughtful of the author to employ it in the story. I am certain it will continuously capture the interest of the intended audience. Nice review. Congratulations on winning BOTD.

Everybody knows how much a child enjoys a story and it really becomes fun when the story is so interesting. I am already wondering if the child's explanation about fairies turned out to be true.

Great review. Now I am curious to see what happened to the glasses and if fairies really took it. Looks like this would be a great addition to my child's bookshelf.

I have been an avid reader from an early age and experienced poor vision which may be related or not. For me a good story has always been one where for some reason i see myself alongside the main characters experiencing what they do. Miraculously this reviewer has been able to give me the same wxperience without actually reading the book. Even more brilliant is the context she creates by introducing her niece.... Brilliance

Great review. It seemed to spark questions and maintain interest to the end of the story, both good skills to want out of a children's book. The interest afterward in your reading device was so typical of an interested and curious child.

I enjoyed this children’s book. It has the potential of making a child want to learn to read themselves. Sally tossing her glasses and then saying the fairies took them was humorous and I agree with the reviewer: it piques the child’s curiosity about what happened to her glasses. I thought your review gave us an interesting insight when you talked about your niece’s experience having the book read to her. Great review! Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

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!
That's adorable! Few things are more satisfying than sharing our love for literature with the little ones and teaching them new words.
As someone who's quite a scatterbrain herself, I can relate to Sally.
Including your experience with your niece was a brilliant idea. What a fantastic review!

When I was learning to read I truly thought that the pictures were there for kids who didn’t want to read, like the little kid version of CliffNotes. I thought they were dumb, shouldn’t be allowed, and ruined my imagination for the scenes I pictured in my head. I literally read a total of 1 picture book.
I do not think that word means what you think it means- Inigo Montoya, “The Princess Bride” :eusa-think:

I had read the sample on Amazon and after reading your review I am considering purchasing this book to read with my nephew. The book sounds like it will keep him engaged. I will buy for his device though so he won't try and take mine. Thank you for a great review!

Reading books to children is a great way to learn life lessons. In this story, Sally tosses her new glasses across her room while trying on clothes in her messy room. She loses them and claims that fairies took them. After reading this book, taking care of your things, keeping a tidy room, and telling the truth are significant topics of discussion. Great book review!

This book has a fun and interesting storyline. I love how the author was able to incorporate suspense despite that it is a children's book. I am looking forward to reading this book. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.
