Literature has benefitted all serious readers, and it can help prereaders learn as well. In these eight boardbook adaptations of classics, kids can learn about oceans from Moby Dick and animals in The Jungle Book, while Alice in Wonderland is a primer on colors. With amusing illustrations depicting the characters as children, here too are Romeo & Juliet, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Pride & Prejudice, Jane Eyre, and a volume devoted to Sherlock Holmes.
