"Goggles! is the story of the triumph of brains over brawn," commented Keats. "In this book I introduced Archie, who is sort of Peter's younger brother in the way he looks after him. I wanted Archie to be a real 'cool cat', a kid who is very smart and talks very little, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know what's going on. In the story Archie just nods and smiles, but when he has something to say, it's very important; it's a decisive point in the story, makes the story turn right around. He saves everyone as a result."
Goggles!, the fifth book about Peter, brilliantly portrays the world of a small child in a big city. It was recognized for its excellence by the American Library Association when it was named as a Caldecott Honor Book in 1970. Keats used collage pieces of cloth, newspaper, magazine, and paper combined with paint and colored pencils to create this award-winning title.
