My twins absolutely LOVE these books. I have read them over and over again since we received the set. I appreciate that the theme of each book is educational, while keeping with the story each book represents.
I have read most of these and I must say I can't see the point. They are books of opposites, colours, etc. but based on classic novels. What purpose could there be in introducing young children to the novels of Jane Austen, for example? They are colourful with cute illustrations, though.
