I usually like the BabyLit books and cut them some slack because everyone knows they are really for literary geek parents to buy for their babies. But in this one, the art felt too dark for a board book (literally, not figuratively), the "braves" were kind of vaguely racist (although, to be fair, the original text is pretty appalling in that regard), and the quotes included were very odd choices for the baby/toddler crowd ("The way you got the time on the island was to find the crocodile." Really?!). Not BabyLit's best.

Adams Adventure #33
Baby Lit #24
A return to Baby Lit with this "adventure" primer which seemed to lack a focus on where it was going to be, it has some interesting words, but there was no real overarching theme to connect them, and make it of something of more value to a young reader, the introduction to Peter Pan was fine but it really missed the objective of the primer aspect as in other books in the series.

Es muy bonito, pero me gustó algo menos que otros de la colección porque creo que tiene menos guiños a la historia original, pero creo que es porque el tema (es un "adventure primer") da menos juego. También se me hace un poco raro que no salgan los Darling.

The entire BabyLit series is adorable, and I love the idea of a primer about adventure in addition to numbers and letters. However, I’d forgotten how racist the depictions of Native Americans are in “Peter Pan,” making the pages in this board book about “braves hunting” wildly uncomfortable.

Baby liked the colors. It wasn't my favorite of the set.

Practically perfect in every way. R (7 months) was riveted. She especially liked the crocodile clock. (Sound effects not included.)
