Specs for Rex by Yasmeen Ismail


My Review

Specs for Rex couldn't have arrived at a more perfect time for us. My little lady got her very first pair of glasses on the very same day...so it really was meant to be!

Rex is such a cool dude, who has just gotten a new pair of glasses. But the glassed are big and round...and red. So, they stick out for everyone to see. Rex doesn't want everyone at school to see his specs...so he hides them...in the funniest of places!

Turns out, having super cool glasses isn't such a bad thing when they help earn him a gold star. Even his friends fancy a pair themselves.

The illustrations are made up of big bold brush strokes of striking colour and we just didn't know what to feast our eyes upon first.

Specs for Rex is a super fun story with the most amazing positive message to reassure little glasses wearing folks everywhere. We heartily recommend!

5 / 5 stars
