Pride and Prejudice is 200 years old and looking better than ever thanks to a beautiful new board book edition.
I may have mentioned once or twice how much I love the new Cozy Classics series created by Holman and Jack Wang (and published by Simply Read Books).
The Wang brothers are making it their business to introduce the toddler set to the classics of literature through simple 12 word elucidations of the tales accompanied by beautiful needle-felted illustrations.
To give you a sense of how well this works, here's a two page spread from their recently released Pride & Prejudice.
The books are garnering lots of love and I look forward to seeing the shelf of Cozy Classics grow as editions of Les Misérables and War and Peace will soon be available.

Was talking to a student today about the Alice Through The Looking Glass coming soon from Simply Read Books and now see Steph Aulenback talking about beautiful Alice images over at Crooked House.
So, I ask you. Is this not the most beautiful thing? (Note: click through for full effect.)
Through The Looking Glass as imagined by the brilliant Iassen Ghiuselev (dear lord! spelled that right on my first try!).
I really, really need a poster of this!

And I'm back. Almost.
Will resume normal services once my fall courses are up and running, but in the meantime you should pop over to Simply Read Books (full disclosure: my publisher) and see the perfectly precious new trailer for Paulina P. Please. 
You can learn more about Paulina P. and her creator, Lisa Cinar, over at Lisa's blog.
I need a poster of that too! I adore it!
Me too. That's gorgeous. Will they be making posters?
