Synopsis

Colorful and fun-filled, this picture book introduces Randy Kazandy, a young boy with poor eyesight who absolutely hates his glasses and thinks they make him look like an alien from outer space. He does everything he can to avoid wearing his spectacles—even getting rid of them in ingenious and devious ways—but his mother always has another pair waiting. The pitch-perfect lyricism of the prose flows effortlessly throughout the book, with lush illustrations providing the ideal companionship for a quality reading and learning experience for all children.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Written in musical rhyme, with hidden glasses throughout the story, Randy Kazandy is fun, spunky, clever, and a bit mischievous. When he visits Dr. Bee, and learns he needs glasses, he devises all sorts of schemes to get rid of the pesky things. He drops them under a car tire, throws them in the sky, and puts them on a passing baby at the grocery store. But no matter what he does, his ever-patient mom pulls out another pair, which despairs Randy to no end. Brilliantly illustrated, Randy Kazandy would make a wonderful gift for any child needing a gentle lesson in self acceptance, be-speckled or not. Randy Kazandy's motto is "I love being me!" and he embraces this wholeheartedly with the help of his parents.
