The BabyLit versions of A Christmas Carol and Romeo and Juliet!
Woohoo!
Naturally, we brought them home and went to readin'.
Pride and Prejudice is still my favorite, but A Christmas Carol is a nice one, as well. It is not a counting primer, as the P&P and R&J books, but a look at colors through the eyes of Ebenezer Scrooge. There's a green wreath, Fezziwig's blue coat, and a red scarf for Tiny Tim, just to name a few.
While I still find the R&J counting primer to be an awesome addition to any kid's library, my English teacher brain and natural dark side want to change a few things. For instance, if I had written this one, there would be one bottle of poison, two feuding families, three murders, five dead teenagers, etc.
What? You weren't thinking the same thing?
Have I mentioned that I love these books?
