No longer an interactive book

I was excited to buy this for my son after seeing it online as an interactive book. The glasses were able to be tried on both Arlo and the reader in previous prints and I believe there were a few other components. But this newest print is not interactive at all. The story is quite short and not very interesting when the interactive components are taken away. If you want a book to prepare your child for an eye exam this is a simple, cute story. But there are probably better books out there for you, too.
