This is a sweet and engaging story about the mystery of a spot that keeps appearing on children’s glasses.

The Mystery of the Spot is an endearing short story about a young child, Charlotte, who sets out to investigate why her spectacles always have an irritating spot on them first thing in the morning. It is an enjoyable read that will appeal to youngsters due to its clear illustrations and smooth flow. Additionally, it will motivate young children who may be reluctant to wear glasses or feel intimidated by the idea of doing so for the first time.
