This is a good story about getting eyeglasses and the benefits (getting to see better) and challenges (getting picked on). Our girls haven't experienced this yet, but if nothing else, I hope they can see that it hurts children to be picked on for being different. They noticed that the illustrations were a bit different (even from the image on the cover) and I explained that it was one of Marc Brown's early books about Arthur, and that the illustrations changed a bit over the years, especially

“Arthur’s Eyes” is the second book in Marc Brown’s famous “Arthur” series and is about how Arthur copes with having his glasses for the first time and the bullying he goes through. “Arthur’s Eyes” is truly a masterpiece for anyone who also has problems with having their glasses for the first time in their lives.

I love Arthur! But this is a great book to have in the classroom because students who get glasses for the first time, for whatever reason, are ashamed to wear them. It is great for students to see themselves and the problems that they face in the books that they read. Students would be able to see the good that comes from using their glasses!

Just saw my brother reading this in an old home video. Though the moral of the story is that glasses can be cool too, I was terrified to get them, hence the fact that none of my childhood pictures show me with four eyes.
Looking back on it, I don't really understand why Arthur is an aardvark. He doesn't really look like one to me.

The kids in the story were mean to Arthur because he had to get glasses. But when he didn't wear them, it got him in a lot of trouble. Ultimately, this is good story to teach children that they have to be themselves even if others laugh because it can hurt them in the end.

The original Arthur, when he actually had a long nose. A Reading Rainbow favorite--how can you not love Bill Cosby reading this?
5/13/10 a supplemental book in my "For Mom" preschool storytime, as my Tue. choices were not that great. The cover is updated to the more modern Arthur, but the pictures within are still the original. I was very happy with that. And I could not help putting is some of the Bill Cosby voices and inflections while reading this. I think the group liked More...

My son really liked this one since he wears glasses too. He made him talk about how he felt when he first got glasses and had to wear them to school.

I remember my eye doctor's office having this book. I read it there a couple of year's after I got glasses. Even though these books are really popular, this is the only Arthur book I've ever read.

I really like this book. It reminds me when I started wearing glasses.
