About this title

About the Author:

In 1997, 1998 and 1999, Bernard Cohen was named as one of the Sydney Morning Herald's Best Young Australian Novelists. Paul Needs Specs is Bernard's first children's picture book, and is based on the author's personal experience of needing glasses as a child. Geoff Kelly worked as a commercial artist for 15 years before turning his talents to illustrating children's books. His distinctive and colorful style makes Paul Needs Specs a true "Spectopolis."

Review:

"Tells the tale of a young boy who, after tripping over his toys, must pay a visit to the optometrist. Wacky illustrations depict what happens when Paul tries on glasses to see which pair suits him best. And for Paul, seeing is believing." ---Playthings

"Bright and energetic..." --- Kirkus Reviews
