Anna’s Pink and Purple Glasses
Written by Marlene Bryenton and Illustrated by Leanne Bowlan
Anna has trouble seeing the words in her storybook and she is fearful of going for her first eye exam.
The trip to the eye doctor is an exciting adventure. She gets something pink and purple.
Can you guess what that is?
