This was one of the books that I chose because it had won the Coretta Scott King Award. The illustrations in this story are very interesting. I don't actually know how to describe it because it is something I don't think I've experienced before. The story follows two young boys who find a pair of "cool" goggles on the ground. The issue is some bigger boys want them and the boys must get back to their hide out before the older boys find them. It is a story that teaches you about bullying and respecting someones space and property. Overall, I very mush enjoyed this book. ( )

Goggles is a story about two friends, Peter and Archie and his dog Willie, who found a pair of motorcycle goggles. Peter and Archie are spotted by some older and more intimidating boys, and one of the boys demands the boys give up the goggles. The boys are unsure what to do, but after some hustling and scuffling, the boys trick the older boys, and make it safely back to Peter’s front porch. The illustrations in this book are excellent and really add to the dark, intimidating feel of the story. The illustrations are by no means traditional and appear rather abstract and edgy. This book is an excellent book for students to read on bullying and how to deal with them.

Book Review Pierce College Age (3-6)

Goggles is a book about two boys who find a pair of motorcycle goggles and have to evade bullies from trying to take them with the help of their clever dog Willie. This book is a good example of how to deal with bullies. This would be great book to teach to a third grade class because it is around the time when students start to form groups. ( )

This book is about two boys who find goggles. Some older kids want the goggles as well and try to take it from the two main characters by force. The main characters end up outsmarting the older kids in the end and keep the goggles they found. I would read this to every class to help talk about the subject of bulling and how it makes people feel. I would also use it as a lesson on exclamation points because they are used a lot in the book as well. ( )

Ezra Jack Keats' books are fantastic means of discussing feelings with students, allowing the teacher to ask students to examine what the characters are feeling and what parts of the text show them those feelings. Goggles! allows a discussion about bullying and how a student feels when they're being threatened by others. ( )

This book is a great book for intermediate readers. Many of Keats's books are used and read during Black History Month to inform students of the civil rights movement. This story is about some kids who find a pair of goggles and become bullied by older kids. The do, "Willie," takes the glasses and runs away with them. The kids find Willie and celebrate the return of the dog and the goggles. All of Keats's stories use the same characters.

Ezra Jack Keats Goggles is one of a series of picture books featuring the adventures of Peter, an African American boy growing up in the city. Peter and his friend, Archie, are playing in a junk strewn lot when they find a pair of lens less motorcycle goggles, and are chased by neighborhood big bullies who want to snatch the goggles from them. With the help of Peter’s Dachshund, Willie, the boys evade the bullies and keep the goggles. Keats gouache and collage illustrations capture the grit of urban texture with bright, bold images that pop with tension of the hide and seek and chase. Ezra’s classic tale of little kids outwitting big kids will appeal to all kids whether bullied or not. ( )

“Goggles!” written by Ezra Jack Keats is a great story, which appears to be set in Harlem, New York. The story begins with two young boys, Archie and Peter, searching in the streets; Peter finds motorcycle goggles, and the boys are fascinated. As the boys were walking home, a few older boys threatened to take the goggles. The older boys chased Archie and Peter, but they outsmarted them and made it home safely. Young boys would love the adventures in this story. This story would be best suited for students from Kindergarten to second grade.

All of Ezra Jack Keats books are very well illustrated and describe the books perfectly. I have always loved Keats books and this one makes me love them even more.
