I really don't have a problem with these books. They are super simple children's books (hence the 1+ age reference) that introduce ideas like counting or color recognition while drawing loosely on classic book themes like Jane Eyre or Romeo and Juliet. My daughter is almost three and loves this series because of the bright pictures and simple words. While we read I usually add in a little more about the original book like who a certain charter is etc..I don't really feel these book are some evil marketing ploy to get adult book nerds to buy them and try to turn they children into mini book nerds. Really how could a two or three year old begin to grasp Jane Eyre or Romeo and Juliet? These are perfect little primers for parents who can't stand to read the same old 1,2,3 books anymore.
A little disappointed it wasn't "One Mad Wife..."Great idea in theory, but a little repetitive if you want to have a collection of these books (which I thought I would). Perhaps an alphabet or word primer for some of them would be a better idea?
Gorgeous board book! This book has a beautiful matte finish and is very high quality. I would love to have the whole set. It doesn't really have a story line, but it has great pictures and includes moments from the book.
was privileged to get these two books Little Master Carroll- Alice and WonderLand and Little Miss Bronte- Jane Eyre , they are two books in a series of BabyLit books published by Gibbs Smith Publisher and Written by Jennifer Adams , illustrated by Alison Oliver.I will start with my thoughts on the Alice and Wonderland book . This book was classified as a Colors Primer. The colors were vibrant and easy for a young child to follow along and to learn. I love how the classic stories are integrated in a easy way for young kids , bringing to life the stories we all know and love.Jane Eyre was just as delightful as Alice and Wonderland, though the colors were not a bright , but that is ok cause Jane Eyre is a Counting Primer not a color one . I found the illustrations to be nice and whimsical and once again this book was a nice twist on the classic Jane Eyre , setting up some key ideas that as the reader gets older they would recognize the ideas in the original classic.I highly recommend these books for young readers, and I will be looking into getting the rest of the series for my 2 year old .. she loved them.
Jane Eyre is one of my favorite all time novels! I was so deligted to find this book for my little girl. The basics of counting are put into context of Jane Eyre. Not overly complicated concepts just 1 governess, 4 towers, etc. I love this book and think its the best out of the collection. It is a matte board book a little larger than 5 inches square. Drooly babies will ruin this book so plan on reading it to them yourself.
I got this and other BabyLit books for a surprise for my friend's baby shower. She has a degree in English and works at a library and she totally loved these. She was tickled. They are beautiful and a great way to ease your baby into the world of bookworms.
I was disappointed with all of the baby lit books. I was hoping for a baby version of the classic plots, but they're essentially just random words related to the books. Not a book I could ready twenty times in a day, which I suppose is okay because my toddler would never WANT me to read it twenty times in a day. Very telling.
How cute are these books? Seriously! Baby Lit Books take these well known classics and turn them into something that every baby would love. The pictures are bursting with character and color. They teach counting and colors. Reading this book to your child will give them their first introduction to classic literature but in a very fun way. The Baby Lit series includes: Alice in Wonderland, Jane Eyre, Romeo and Juliet, and Pride and Prejudice. I only wish that this series was available when my kids were babies. These books are adorable.
