AwardsSynopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:With the perennial popularity of classic writers like Jane Austen and William Shakespeare, Baby Lit is a fashionable way to introduce your toddler to the world of classic literature. With clever, simple counting text by Jennifer Adams, paired with stylish design and illustrations by Sugar's Alison Oliver, Little Miss Austen and Little Master Shakespeare are a must for every savvy parent's nursery library.
Jennifer Adams is the author of a dozen books including Remarkably Jane: Notable Quotations on Jane Austen and the popular Y Is for Yorick: A Slightly Irreverent ABC Book for Grown-Ups. Jennifer works as a writer and editor in Salt Lake City. Her favorite baby name is Fitzwilliam. Alison Oliver runs Sugar design studio. Alison's design portfolio includes everything from logos to packaging and product design for clients such as Chronicle Books, Citibabes, Aerie, as well as Gibbs Smith. She lives in Manhattan. Her favorite baby name is Lizzy. Review:"Launching the BabyLit series, this counting book delivers a (very) simplified version of Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Adams opens with '1 english village' and '2 rich gentlemen,' the pale, dapperly dressed Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy. Later follows '4 marriage proposals' and '5 sisters,' and the book closes with 10, as in '10,000 pounds a year.' While many entries feel like filler ('6 horses, 7 soldiers in uniform'), Oliver's Edward Gorey — meets — Etsy sensibility should make this a hit with English lit students. Available simultaneously: Romeo & Juliet. Up to age 3. (Aug.)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
