A boy wears blue spectacles created by a fairy and grows unhappy until a moment of seeing the blue sky reveals a world of many colors. He meets a party of children, discovers red and yellow, and forgets his sorrow as joy returns through colorful sights and friends.
A fairy shows a boy three pairs of spectacles blue red and yellow altering his view. After trying all, the world shifts colors, revealing how perception changes with perspective. The tale closes with a word-building game using syllables from color strips.
Instructions describe a party game where a person first holds his nose with the right hand and his right ear with the left, then quickly reverses to grab the nose with the left hand and the ear with the right. Repeating the motion creates increasing difficulty and amusement as others watch.
Poem-like note from Washington Star describes three children fleeing to a carefree land of Make Believe with candy trees and endless play. The verse invites readers to join in the dreamlike journey and the hush about telling the tale.
