Reviews

"Short-sightedness (myopia) is becoming increasingly common; in some parts of the world, 8 in every 10 children will develop short-sightedness during their school years. Research has demonstrated convincingly that spending more time outdoors reduces the risk of developing myopia. The Misty Mole books are a really engaging way for children to learn about myopia and the benefits of spending time outdoors. The experiences of Misty Mole will resonate with those who have become myopic themselves – that first pair of glasses makes the world look so incredibly sharp and clear!"Professor Jeremy Guggenheim, Professor of Myopia Research at Cardiff University, UK


"A marvelous picture book series on the importance of children understanding eye care. It would sit perfectly alongside classics like The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark by Jill Tomlinson. Educational, beautifully written and gorgeously illustrated. Hoorah for books like Misty Mole! This is an absolute classic."—Angela Kecojevic, author of Scareground and the Oxford Reading Tree programme
