If you follow me on Instagram, you've already seen the picture I posted of my new "babylit" books. Haven't heard of them? They're classics rewritten in a simpler format and meant for babies and toddlers to look at — and they're absolutely adorable.
While I don't have any children of my own yet, I absolutely love children's books and am always on the lookout for the latest and greatest. I love these ones because they're true to the original story (Pride & Prejudice even features portraits of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy) but have colorful illustrations and teach kids about opposites, weather, counting, colors and more.
I can hardly wait to have a baby of my own and introduce her to Marianne, Elinor, Mr. Bingley and even Romeo and Juliet. These books are well-made and perfect for parents who want something fresh for their kids to look at.
Do you have any babylit books? What's your favorite children's book?
I like Mo Willem's picture books. My favorite chapter book is "Mandy," by Julie (Andrews) Edwards. You would like that one.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's just because I have boys, but I feel like these books were made more for adults to oooh and ahhhh over than for children to enjoy. I definitely love them and think they're really creative, but I feel like it's only adults that will understand just how creative they are.
