Lewis’s most beloved classic. With simple text paired with bright illustrations by Joey Chou, this is a must-have board book for a young child’s first library and the perfect baby shower gift for parents to be.

Mama Thinks:

Chronicles of Narnia is one of our favorite series. I love that there's a board book as an introduction to the series. A lot of people were complaining in reviews about how simple it was, but it's meant for babies and as someone who has read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe a few times I think it's a perfect representation of the book.

The artwork is beautiful, it still gives the story, even if a little watered down. It's not meant to be the whole story.

He was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Mere Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and been transformed into three major motion pictures.
