Favorite Board Books / Baby Lit series by Jennifer Adams

I've got another round of my favorite board books for you today!  In full disclosure, I have not had an opportunity to use these board books in baby or preschool programming (yet!). The Baby Lit series is probably enjoyed the most by adults who are familiar with the novels these board books are based on, but they are just too clever and cute not to share with you.

Jennifer Adams and Alison Oliver have created a series of board books for babies & young kids based on classic novels.  There are currently nine titles in the series, including Romeo & Juliet, Alice in Wonderland and Moby Dick to name a few, along with the titles in the image above.  Each book focuses on a single concept such as counting (Pride and Prejudice), colors (Alice in Wonderland), opposities (Sense & Sensibility) or a single topic like weather (Wuthering Heights).  The books are extremely well designed with clean, bright vintage inspired illustrations that bring these well-known characters to life in a completely new and enjoyable way.  The humor and cleverness of these books is all in the illustrations which adults who are familiar with the original novels will no doubt pick up on.  These books are a great way to introduce classic stories and characters to young listeners during family story time - and the adults will enjoy the book just as much as the kids will!
