Classical Literary Baby Books

The BabyLit Series Adapts Acclaimed Novels for Youthful Audiences

For those consumer parents looking to jumpstart their newborn child's introduction to literature, the BabyLit baby book series creatively adapt acclaimed novels for young audiences in baby-friendly formats. The books feature simple text, graphics and boiled down plot lines to help young readers become acquainted with celebrated written works.

There are hundreds of classic novels that are known as the must-reads, but most if not all are geared towards more mature and adult audiences. The BabyLit series cleverly bridges that gap by transforming the works of Lewis Carrol, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte and even William Shakespeare into bedtime books. Each novel features thick child-friendly cardboard pages, low amounts of text and highly visual pages so that young minds can easily interpret the celebrated plots and stories.
