But hold up, it's not just laughs and games; it's a stealthy way of dropping some eye care wisdom on those little munchkins. So, parents, pay attention! Even when things seem A-okay, regular eye exams are your secret weapon. Why Should I Get an Eye Exam? Strabismus/Amblyopia is your ticket to a joyous journey of early eye care.

Its a good book with a glossary inside. The glossary can help readers especially young readers to understand some terms. A must read book to know about eyes exam.

I love when books help children understand the things that other children are going through. my son goes to vision therapy so to read this book to him for him to hear about other kids that go to vision therapy helped him to feel normal. I’m glad there are books like this.

This picture books tells about the two eye disorders, Strabismus and Amblyopia. Through this story, these two disorders have been briefed.

Terri's brother Adam need surgery as his eye muscles had been weaken beyond looking clear through glasses. Also, there is this common learning that some weaknesses or diseases runs in DNA.

There is a good thing to know from someone who has better knowledge of optics. Though there is no name given to narrator himself, maybe Author Kara forgot that.
There is this learning for parents also to get their children get eye check-ups timely and regularly before it worsen beyond repair, of harsh treatments, say surgery, one or may more.

Great message! Not everyone realizes how important early eye exams are. It's important also that instead of teasing each other, the kids in this adorable little picture book support each other.
