I don‘t really think this book gets the idea of Mody Dick across. I realize it‘s turning hundreds of pages into 30 words or less, but it doesn‘t work. It makes Moby Dick seem like a happy go lucky story. So it doesn‘t work for me.

“Mommmm, why are you taking my picture again? It‘s time for my nap!” 😴

Despite being tired, he enjoyed this introduction to the ocean and all of the cool things on a ship. 👍🏻

My husband‘s childhood BFF is expecting his first little munchkin in the spring. I saw this at Costco and couldn‘t resist!

AmyG I love giving books for baby gifts! This is great. 7y
Cortg @AmyG I feel like they get more out of books then a gagillion unneeded toys. My brother and his wife don‘t read, like at all. I‘m always getting their now 15mo books when I see him and he loves books! 7y
AmyG Lucky you! Books are forever and great ones are saved and passed down (or should be). 7y
callielafleur I love giving these books, but I had no idea they came in a set! My nieces really enjoyed these! 7y
Cortg @callielafleur I know! I was looking for them on Amazon but only found singles. I was super excited when I came across a 📦 set! 7y

"The waves rolled by like scrolls of silver." I love these Baby Lit books! They're the perfect introduction to the classics.

Bookworm83 I need to get some of these for my nephew. I'm grooming him to be a book worm 😊 8y
Reviewsbylola My kids have a few of these! 8y
AvidReader25 @Bookworm83 They are so fun! Each one focuses on a different thing to teach kids. Don Quixote is Spanish, Wuthering Heights is weather, Jungle Book is animals. 8y

Went to a bigger city this weekend and found a bookstore with English books! These are all kids books :) The adult English section was even bigger (and not all classics). Anyone who has lived in a non-English speaking country with limited access to books in English should appreciate this :)
