Synopsis

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, sturdy pages, and a beloved story make these books 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 L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a storm transports Dorothy to the magical Land of Oz. Can she defeat the Wicked Witch and find her way home ? 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 board book form-a little bit serious, a little bit ironic, entirely funny and clever, and always a welcome gift.

About this title

Review

'The absolute joy of these gorgeous titles, collectively called Cozy Classics, which ooze character and creativity on the part of their creators, is that they contain photographs of scenes painstakingly created from felt dolls set up in natural environments. These exquisite characters seem to truly capture the essence of the titles that they represent. Also, a huge bonus, they follow the stories in order through a series of scenes, and whilst the titles do not provide the narrative, they do allow a parent who knows the tales to re-tell them simply and effectively. They are absolutely stunning additions to the girls' library, and whilst they are board books, both girls enjoy them. We will treasure this set beyond childhood.' --Culture Baby
