Cozy Classics: Pride & Prejudice
Cozy Classics: Pride & Prejudice | Jack Wang, Holman Wang
10 posts | 9 read | 2 to read
Cuddle up with a classic! In twelve needle-felted scenes and twelve child-friendly words, each book in this ingenious series captures the essence of a literary masterpiece. Simple words, sturdy pages, and a beloved story make these books the perfect vehicle for early learning with an erudite twist. Budding bookworms will delight in this clever retelling of the classics made just for them! In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, meet two devoted sisters, gossip about two rich and handsome friends, and ponder whether Elizabeth Bennet will say yes. It's a first words primer for your literary little one! The Cozy Classics series is the brainchild of two brothers, both dads, who were thinking of ways to teach words to their very young children. They hit upon the classics as the basis for their infant primers, and the rest, as they say, is history. From Moby Dick to Pride and Prejudice, here are The Great Books of Western Literature for toddlers and their parents in board book forma little bit serious, a little bit ironic, entirely funny and clever, and always welcome.

"My dear, Eliza, he must be in love with you, or he would never have called us in this familiar way." - Chapter 32

#Pemberlittens another from my collection. You could read this very simplified childrens edition in about 5 minute. I actually read my Kindle copy today. ?

LiteraryinPA I love the artwork in this series, with the felted characters! But I do find it a little weird with the single words on each page. If you were telling the story to a child, you‘d really have to shoulder that yourself. But maybe that‘s the point! 4mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @LiteraryinLawrence some of the one words are self explanatory like Dance. But then you go from Walk to Marry. Definitely going to need so explanation. Muddy is my favorite picture. 4mo
Teresereading I loved it 4mo

Artist Holman Wang explained this photo shoot for the tagged book. It‘s set in Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver and he used scissors to trim the grass to proportional height. #VWF2019

Cathythoughts Oh how brilliant 💕💕💕 5y
Lindy @Cathythoughts I love his work. I‘m even more impressed now that I know he rarely uses digital effects. 5y

Solid summary of the plot with single words. I can say this is a delight of a board book!

#TaintedLove https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_IpYc4X0Mds #JuneTunz @Cinfhen (the original 1976 Gloria Jones version)

"Once I ran from you, now I run to you..." (took some liberties with the song lyrics)

Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy have some tainted love, due to their pride and prejudice of each other.

Pictured: a copy of P&P folded into LOVE, with the hard covers, of the collection, book purse, and Lithograph scarf behind it.

Melissa_J I have that purse and that scarf 😃 7y
drokka Thank you for the link. I had no idea Soft Cell's version was a cover. I love Gloria Jones's version and have no idea why it has never hit my radar. She has a fab voice! 👍 7y
Cinfhen I never knew it was a cover version either!!! So cool 😎 thanks for sharing 🎵🎵🎵 7y
CrowCAH @Melissa_J so cool; great minds think alike! 😊 7y
CrowCAH @drokka @Cinfhen either did I know about the cover versions, until I looked up the song and didn't know which one I should post, so one link shared the original and there you have it. 7y

Posting these #faveclassics for today's #somethingforsept but would like to clarify these are actually my favorites EDITIONS of classics at the moment 😊 Each classic is distilled to just 12 words accompanied by amazing felted figurine photos.
You would be amazed how well P&P is covered perfectly by such few words! These are board books but I think most appreciated by adults who know the full story📚

Yournewfriendsams Super cool concept! 8y
RealLifeReading I've seen a couple of these. So cute! 8y
Carol I love these!!!! I want to say they also made a Star Wars series. 🤓 8y
elkeOriginal @Carol They do! Those are called Epic Yarns I think and are the original 3 movies. SO CUTE. Yoda in felt = beyond awesome. 8y
