Jennifer Adam's Children Classic Books Review

I love these picture books sooo much.  I know that you may be like... those books are for little kids.  Well yes they are.  But really neat picture books.  Written by Jennifer Adams and illustrated by Alison Oliver, these books are beautiful.  I first saw them in an independent book store in Houston Murder by the Book.  This is one of the reasons independent book stores are fun.  There was a display with these cute books.  I bought the Dracula   (a counting book) for my nephew on the spot.  My sister and I love spooky stuff so I knew this way a fun way to introduce my nephew to Dracula.

I recently checked out all of these from the library to look at them.   I think these are a great way to introduce kids to the classics. The art work is wonderful... a lot of neat details went into these books. I have read  Sense and Sensibility, Sherlock Holmes, Wuthering Heights, and Moby Dick.  I really enjoyed the Wuthering Heights book.. each page is am illustration of the house from the book in different weather.  The books are hard and sturdy so there is really no way for little kids to ruin them.

I looked in my local Barnes and Nobles to find them and look through the ones I missed but surprisingly they were no where to be found on the shelves!  I wish they were on the shelves there for people to see.  They are unique and I think the perfect gift.  There is also a Jane Eyre, A Christmas Carol, Anna Karenina, Romeo and Juliet, Pride and Prejudice, and the Jabberwocky.

If you are out and about in bookstores and see these pick one up and look through it. Even if you haven't read the original classic story I think you will still have fun with the book.
