How could you be expected to know whether you see exactly like everyone else unless the doctor tests your eyes? Sometimes things are a mystery because you do see things, but not the way other kids see them. This is what happened with Kourtney and why she has glasses. In fact, she has lots of glasses and boy can she see things now@ Enjoy the illustrations and the poetry of Penelope Dyan and tell them all about the eye doctor and why they shouldn't be afraid to have their eyes tested. After all, it doesn't hurt; and it can really help.
