Absolutely perfect for my daughter with amblyopia by MT (Brick, NJ United States)  5 Stars
March 21, 2009
I could swear that little becca on the front is my daughter! In fact my 4 year old didn't want to wear her patch because she thought people who think "she looks ridiculous" - Ballerina's aren't pirates, princesses aren't pirates, etc. etc etc. She was able to relate to Becca throughout and has asked if she could take this book to school with her to share "because the kids have fun even though Becca has on an eye patch". Its tough being a little girl with an eye patch and this book really does help. I'm so glad I got it for my daughter who recently was diagnosed with amblyopia.

This book misses the mark by Cherokee  1 Stars
November 02, 2008
This book is a bitter disappointment. It did not help my 9-year-old daughter who cries because she thinks her patch makes her look silly. When out in public, she hides her face from the glances of passersby.
This story does a poor job of explaining, to children, the importance of wearing the patch. The story completely ignores advising children on how to cope with the embarrassment. Telling my daughter to pretend she is someone or something else, as a productive way to manage her distorted image, does not settle well with me at all. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

Great way to introduce a young girl to a patch by Cristina Munoz (Miami, FL) 5 Stars
April 07, 2008
When my 3 and 1/2 year old daughter was told she would have to wear a patch for 2 hours a day, she was devestated (ok, both of us were)... This book helped us both get use to the idea. For the first few days of her patching we would sit and read this book together. Now she plays as she wears her patch and sometimes you hear her say... "I am a Pirate Ballerina" =)

our own attitude affects how others feel by Learning Abilities Books 5 Stars
February 16, 2008
This book is a wonderful example of how our own attitude influences how others feel about our problems, handicaps, and differences of any kind.

| The Eye Patch Kids DVD For Amblyopia/Strabismus
Starring: The Bjorts, Princess, Peter, Patty
Directed By: Kelly Harmsen
The Eye Patch Kids DVD is designed to help children understand why they have to wear an eye patch while being entertained by the patched puppets singing and dancing. It's very entertaining for children and stops the struggle between parent and child by allowing the parent to just put on the DVD and let the child put on the patch with the puppets. It really works.
