Children love many things, but nothing catches their attention better than something colorful they could play with. And I don't think I need to tell you about the many benefits of play. Every mom out there knows that play increases child's creativity and productivity, makes them happy, and - most importantly - enhances their personal learning and development. And what's a better thing for your child to play with than a beautifully illustrated,...more

Why am I reviewing board books, you might ask? Because I was offered them for review and I had a nephew turning two on the seventh. (I gave them to him on the eighth as Easter presents, however.) I thought the books sounded like great fun and wanted to give them a chance.
Looking over them on my own, I thought they were a great package. The illustrations by Alison Oliver are irresistibly cute and the color palettes are terrific. I liked that LITTLE MISS BRONTE: JANE EYRE had quotations from the t...more

What a brilliant idea to take the classics and turn them into board books for the very young. Not only does the child get a little taste of classic literature from an extremely young age, it's also a great way for parents to reminisce about their favourite stories.
I had the opportunity to read Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll last year so the story was still fresh in my head. I really appreciated all the little details the artist put into this book. The words are very simple. For example, t...more

Another in the series of BabyLit board books (see my review for Little Miss Bronte's Jane Eyre, a counting primer), this time obviously based on Alice in Wonderland.
Again, it has to be said: the illustrations are to die for. They're bright, pretty, and awesome so that even adults will enjoy looking at the book.
I think this was even better than Jane Eyre, because I found it much easier to concentrate on the subject: in Jane Eyre, what you're counting is alongside other illustrative elements, so w...more

Prepare for the gush. Look at those covers, the entire books are like that. I love reading picture books with my boys, but you rarely find something that tickles your own personal style so much. Alice in Wonderland is a color primer, with the colorful characters and colors on every page. Though the blue catepillar is not really "blue" and the orange cat with the pink background is hard to see. But the pictures are so cute, and Ivan adores it. He even gets it, the 2 I tho...more

was privileged to get these two books Little Master Carroll- Alice and WonderLand and Little Miss Bronte- Jane Eyre , they are two books in a series of BabyLit books published by Gibbs Smith Publisher and Written by Jennifer Adams , illustrated by Alison Oliver.
I will start with my thoughts on the Alice and Wonderland book . This book was classified as a Colors Primer. The colors were vibrant and easy for a young child to follow along and to learn. I love how the classic stories are intergrated...more

A board book of colors based on Alice and Wonderland, part of a series that takes classics and uses them to present simple concepts. I love the idea of parents excitedly exposing their favorite classics to their young child, but this newest addition to the series especially impressed me because not only are there only a 2-3 large words on each page (white rabbit, red hearts) and the color words printed in their respective color to help little minds learn, but unlike some of the other board books...more
Note - this review is for both the "Alice in Wonderland" and "Jane Eyre" Primers.
These are wonderful! Thanks to Eric at Quirk Books for sending them to me. I only wish they’d been published earlier when my grand-niece was still at this baby board book stage – it might have really helped. These are absolutely lovely little books that are very simple and easy to understand (though the term “governess” might take some explaining to babies/toddlers) and the colors and illustrations are absolutely fa...more

I received this book along with the Jane Eyre counting primer through a goodreads giveaway. I did not like this one near as much as I liked the Jane Eyre book. One reason being that I have seen several other Alice in Wonderland toddler books and this just is not as original as the Jane Eyre idea. However as a child's book introducing colors it is of course effective. Though the colors the artist uses are faded variations of the vibrant color wheel most often seen in baby books. I in fact prefer...more

When I happened upon these lovely little books my first thought was that they would make wonderful gifts. I, myself, do not have children(yet). But when I received Alice in Wonderland: A Colors Primer and Little Miss Bronte Jane Eyre today, I fell deeply for their precious artwork, vivid colors, and clever educational properties. I've now decided to hang on to them! I will keep them safe until I have my own little joys to read with. They're simply to...more

I've never reviewed a childrens book before so bare with me, but I agreed to review this book and a similar one because the artwork completely drew me in. When im a parent one day I fully intend to pass my love of reading onto my children and hopefully I will succeed in that. This book is beautiful and simple. While its a basic learning your colors book. The pages seem to come to life with the art and details of it. The pictures come to life on the pages and I know that any young child would be...more
All of Jennifer Adams's BabyLit Primer boardbooks based on the classics look INCREDIBLE, and her version of _Alice in Wonderland_ is an excellent introduction into the magical, nonsensical world of Lewis Carroll through its basic approach to colors. Alison Oliver's bold illustrations perfectly complement the simple text and visually engage readers of all ages. Ultimately, one would hope that exposing our babies to the classics via boardbooks such as these will lead to later interest in and appre...more
How cute are these books? Seriously! Baby Lit Books take these well known classics and turn them into something that every baby would love. The pictures are bursting with character and color. They teach counting and colors. Reading this book to your child will give them their first introduction to classic literature but in a very fun way. The Baby Lit series includes: Alice in Wonderland, Jane Eyre, Romeo and Juliet, and Pride and Prejudice. I only wish that this series was available when my kid...more
This is not your typical rendition of Alice In Wonderland. First off it is a board book and not from Disney. The author says, “this is a fashionable way to introduce your child to the world of classic literature.” But don’t let that fool you it is very similar to standard board books. This is a book that helps with color. All the characters of wonderland are used to express colors in illustrations that feel modern but have a 60s twist. The next person I know to have a baby will be getting this b...more
These are the sweetest board books I have ever laid eyes on!
Looking at these book-covers via online does not do them any justice at all! The coloring is gorgeous - vibrant and eye catching! The quality of these books just blows my mind - they are so sturdy, and definitely kid friendly.
But what I adore the most - the theme to these books!

I can't even take it. How precious are these books?? The Baby Lit books are described as "A Series of Board Books for Brilliant Babies," but I think parents (any adult, for that matter) would get just as much enjoyment out of them as babies would, if not more.

My roommate got me this book for my birthday and it's utterly amazing! Yes, it's a basic color recognition picture book but it makes it so fun with the literary connection. The illustrations are bright and exciting and the items that the authors choose for the colors are very fun. The connection with the original _Alice_ text will make the book entertaining for both adult and child and it was be begged to be reread. I highly recommend this book or any other from the series.
Since I am only one years old. I really enjoy the colors of the books and the simple words for me to understand.

From Ginny's Mom:
I really enjoyed this book. Ginny loved pointing at the pictures and all their colors. It's one of the books that she brings over to me over and over again. It's one book I don't mind reading as it's based of the classic. Jennifer Adams did a really great job on bringing the classic book down to a board book for little kids.

J’ai été agréablement surprise par cet album tout carton ! Bien que les bébés ne connaissent pas leurs classiques littéraires, j’ai trouvé que l’idée était charmante d’utiliser Alice in Wonderland pour faire un album sur les couleurs.
Peu de texte, des images intriguntes (on voit les pieds d’Alice dépasser du trou pour illustrer des chaussures noires) et des couleurs enjouées. On est loin de Caillou, enfin !

I immediately sat down with Isla and read Alice in Wonderland. She sat, listened, hit on the pages and when we were done she gave the edges a nice chew. I think this means it got her approval. ;) It defintely got my approval! Bright colors, simple words and a nice intro to Alice in Wonderland. Only complaint? The blue caterpillar isn't really blue in my color opinion. Very small complaint.
Excellent book!
Excellent book!
Great book. Very simple, few words, and the artwork is amazing!! The light yet bright colors will get the children's attention immediately. Easy to read, and easy to understand. The words are very bold.
An activity I would do with this book, is that I would have children write down, the things from the book that are fantasy and the ones that are reality.

This has bright colors to grab a baby's attention, and it represents fun characters from the story! It doesn't really tell any of the story (between the color primers and the counting primers, the counting ones seem a little better at that for some reason), but it's still a really fun little board book for little ones.
Utterly glorious picture book for babies based on Carroll's famous stories. Cleverly illustrated with contemporary, humorous pictures, this book is part of a series in which classic works of literature are reinterpreted as picture books. We will definitely look for more in this series.
Cutest board EVER! Perfect for babysitting. Or mothers. Okay who am I kidding this isn't just for mothers and babysitters. Anyone who loves cute book related stuff would LOVE this book because it's SO DANG ADORABLE.
This book is absolutely adorable. I love it, and I don't even have kids. My husband and I "read" through it twice -- now we just need the babies. This is definitely a book I could read over and over again with a baby and not get distracted with. The art is fabulous, and I love the nod to real "lit".
A full review, with a video on my blog guiltlessreading.
Such an awesome little book!
Such an awesome little book!
This is a lovely little book with beautiful illustrations straight out of Wonderland. It is a simple color primer, great for small children. I plan on giving it to my niece!
This series, BabyLit, is very clever and funny. Whether or not it's really for children is debatable, but it's absolutely for parents who love classics.
This is a very fun children's color book. I won this through Goodreads Giveaways. Fun idea for a series. That is How Lou Sees It. www.howlouseesit.blogspot.com
A fun riff on Alice for the very wee ones. My baby loved it: simple enough that she followed along and actually liked it!
