\"Cover<\/a>
\nCozy Classic’s Pride and Prejudice<\/strong>, adapted by Jack and Holman Wang based on Jane Austen’s novel. Simply Read Books. Board book edition. ISBN-13: 978-1927018125 (November 15, 2012) Price: $9.95 (Amazon $8.95).<\/p>\n

This book is advertised as a children’s book for ages 1 to 3 years. I’m sure some children in that age range will love the book because the photos are bright and colorful, the pages sturdy (thick pasteboard), and — if I remember my child at that age — good to chew on or bang around. A parent can even read the book to them. On the left hand page of each two-page spread is one word written in clear big letters the words are: friends, sisters, dance, mean, sick, muddy, yes, no, write, read, walk, and marry. Opposite the word is the photo.<\/p>\n

The cover image is a good indication of what the interior photos are like. (The cover photo is used to illustrate muddy<\/em>.) Each photo includes a felted fabric doll of one or more of the major characters: Jane and Elizabeth Bennet, Darcy, and Charles Bingley. There are different versions of them because the clothing changes for various scenes. The photos illustrate the word. For example the word sisters<\/em> has a photo of Jane and Elizabeth looking into a mirror together.<\/p>\n

If you are a Pride and Prejudice<\/strong> fan, and watch the movie with Colin Firth often with your child, then the photos might be familiar to the child. Otherwise, I’d say this is more a book for adults who enjoy the Austen novel and want to have a collection of all or a number of the variations of the original story.<\/p>\n

It’s also different and fun. The felted dolls used are extremely well done and I really wish there had been patterns available for those who wish to make the dolls. There’s even a pretty close resemblance to the characters from the Firth movie version of Pride and Prejudice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The words and photos match up with major events in Pride and Prejudice<\/strong> so your imagination can fill in the story with just these prompts. The problem is that for a child the connection would be tenuous at best and non-existent at worse. But, as I said earlier they may just enjoy the photos and you, as a fan of the original story, can fill in the blanks with a shortened version of the plot.<\/p>\n

Great gift for the Pride and Prejudice<\/strong> fan that has everything else and may not think to check the children’s section of the bookstore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
