Cuddle up with a classic! In twelve needle-felted scenes and twelve child-friendly words, each book in this ingenious series captures the essence of a literary masterpiece. Simple words and a beloved story make this ebook the perfect vehicle for early learning with an erudite twist. Budding bookworms will delight in this clever retelling of the classics made just for them!
In Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist, an orphan boy on the streets of London falls in with a bad crowd of pickpockets and thieves. Will Oliver ever find his family? It's a first words primer for your literary little one!
The Cozy Classics series is the brainchild of two brothers, both dads, who were thinking of ways to teach words to their very young children. They hit upon the classics as the basis for their infant primers, and the rest, as they say, is history. From Moby Dick to Pride and Prejudice, here are The Great Books of Western Literature for toddlers and their parents in ebook form—a little bit serious, a little bit ironic, entirely funny and clever, and always a welcome read.

      The Wang brothers dramatically abridge E.T.A. Hoffman’s holiday tale in this addition to the Cozy Classics series, which reduces the story to 12 words, accompanied by photographs of needle-felted characters staged in intricate miniature environments. This adaptation begins with a “gift” (Drosselmeyer hands Marie the nutcracker as they stand before a page of text from Hoffman’s story). Marie’s “sleep” then leads to a “fight” with the mouse king, and she and the prince later “go” to a land of “sweets.” The sumptuously detailed and carefully composed scenes should enchant even readers who know little or nothing about this story, and adults can always help fill in the blanks. Up to age 2. Agent: Emily van Beek, Folio Literary Management.
