There's more than one "correct" way. If I was doing something like
this, I believe I'd just cut a saw-kerf wide dado about a 1/4" from
the front edge ot the sides & bottom of each drawer, and drop in an
appropriately sized piece of plexiglass. Size the plex so that there
is enough room to hook a fingertip over the top edge to pull the
drawer open.
In that case I think you'd need to make the drawer bottom thicker than
normal and perhaps dovetail it to the sides or another strong
connection. I think I would just screw the front to the sides and
bottom, with a piece of wood glued to the underside of the bottom to
give enough thickness to screw into.
