Eight board books from BabyLit, each one a classic retold as a primer: Austen as opposites, Brontë as counting, Melville as the ocean, Tolstoy as fashion, Burnett as flowers, Kipling as animals, Shakespeare as a bedtime lullaby, and Homer with his monsters turned goofy. The words are for the baby. The authors are for everyone else.
Why we built it
The First Edition is the Edit we built for the giver who'd rather send literature than almost anything else. Eight matched spines from the same series, so the row on the nursery shelf looks like it belongs in a library.
