Bookroo's summary

Iris Fogel is nearsighted, so her world is full of surprises: a fire-breathing dragon, a giant pygmy nuthatch and other strange creatures. Readers who turn the page discover that they are really Great-Aunt Fanny, her friend Chester and other ordinary sights. When Iris finally gets glasses, she sees everything in a new and much clearer way.
