The Pirate of Kindergarten by George Ella Lyon
3.0

Age: K - 2nd grade

"Doubles are good for lots of things--double scoops of ice cream, double features at the movies. But double vision is NOT a good kind of double. In fact, it can make kindergarten kind of hard. Ginny sees double chairs at reading circle and double words in her books. She knows that only half of what she sees is real, but which half? The solution to her problem is wondrously simple: an eye patch Ginny becomes the pirate of kindergarten.With the help of her pirate patch, Ginny can read, run, and even snip her scissors with double the speed" (Goodreads feature review).

The pictures are bold, colorful, and a bit dizzying--quite appropriate for the storyline. A lot of time was spent before Ginny was diagnosed, perhaps too much time.
