Wee Reads: Pride & Prejudice: A BabyLit Counting Primer by Jennifer Adams , Alison Oliver (Illustrator)

When Finn was born we loved to read to him and decided to start a special feature on our blog just for his books. Now we have Juniper to read to and thought we would revive the feature with her books.

Pride & Prejudice: A BabyLit Counting Primer by Jennifer Adams
Series: BabyLit Primers
Genre: Children's
Format: Board book
Published: January 1st, 2011 by Gibbs Smith

What it's about
With the perennial popularity of classic writers like Jane Austen and William Shakespeare, Baby Lit™ is a fashionable way to introduce your toddler to the world of classic literature. With clever, simple counting text by Jennifer Adams, paired with stylish design and illustrations by Sugar’s Alison Oliver, Little Miss Austen and Little Master Shakespeare are a must for every savvy parent’s nursery library.
Mama Thinks:
We have always loved the BabyLit books and I feel like it's a good stepping stone into reading classics. The artwork is beautiful and it's a lot of fun to read.
