Goggles! by Ezra Jack Keats, 1969. Just like all of Ezra Jack Keats books, the story is simple and fun and the illustrations are high level and intriguing. Much of it is in his classic color blocked style but this particular story has a lot of texture. Simple rusted and worn texture combined with the use of newspaper and magazine graffiti add a lot of visual stimulation to the story and make it a wonderful read.
