"Are you still reading Goodnight Moon to little Jenny? Darcy Jr. and I just finished Moby Dick. He loved it so much he couldn't stop and gurgling about it afterwards!"
As I've shared before, the board books we get in always amuses me. I'd like to focus on two new series both of which introduces the youngest of readers to classics!

The first is from the Baby Lit collection and features six well-loved titles- A Christmas Carol, Alice in Wonderland, Dracula, Jane Eyre, Pride & Prejudice, and Romeo & Juliet. The first two are color primers and the rest are counting books. Cute illustrations by Alison Oliver make Jennifer Adams' simple texts come to life. For example, in Dracula, we see 5 heroes still smiling, fully unaware of the dangers that await them, and 9 boxes including one coffin keeping a sleeping Dracula safe from the sun. Three more titles are expected to hit shelves early next year expanding into different concepts like weather, ocean, and opposites!

Another series is the aptly named Cozy Classics. Jack and Holman Wang share timeless stories with just twelve words for each and accompanied by wonderful needle-felted illustrations! Currently, there are Moby Dick and Pride and Prejudice available with Les Miserables and War and Peace coming out in Spring 2013.

These are perfect for the little readers in your life!
