Little Bear Needs Glasses Board Book with Reusable Stickers

Little Bear Needs Glasses is an adorable and interactive board book designed to help young children understand the concept of wearing glasses in a fun and engaging way. In the story, Little Bear notices that he has trouble seeing clearly. As he tries on different glasses with the help of his animal friends, children get to participate by using reusable sticker glasses to match Little Bear with the perfect pair. This hands-on activity encourages problem-solving, social-emotional learning, and fine motor skills while reinforcing the idea that glasses can be fun and helpful.
