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.

What it's about

Observe the life and loves of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, in Sense & Sensibility: A BabyLit Opposites Primer. Learn the difference between big Norland Park and little Barton Cottage, happy Mr. Willoughby and sad Colonel Brandon, while hoping that one day Elinor and Marianne will leave their single days behind them and celebrate worthy marriages.

Mama Thinks:

We've had this one since Finn was little, but honestly I don't think we've read it often, when I read it this time to June I felt like I hadn't read it before. I know we have, but it's not memorable. That being said, we still loved it. It's a good stepping stone into classic books and I love the opposites.
