Follow Friday


Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Great way to get out there and meet new bloggers and discover new blogs. :)

Q: What is one book that you would be nervous to see a movie adaption of because you think the movie could never live up to the book?


I honestly would be a little apprehensive in seeing Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi or the Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa series made into a movie . I would be worried they wouldn't get them . I hear they were making some movies for the Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan and I'm a bit worried on how they will do those as well . I loved those books .

So do tell which books would you be nervous about them making movies over?

BabyLit: Alice in Wonderland and Jane Eyre



I was privileged to get these two books Little Master Carroll- Alice and WonderLand and Little Miss Bronte- Jane Eyre , they are two books in a series of BabyLit books published by Gibbs Smith Publisher and Written by Jennifer Adams , illustrated by Alison Oliver.

I will start with my thoughts on the Alice and Wonderland book . This book was classified as a Colors Primer. The colors were vibrant and easy for a young child to follow along and to learn. I love how the classic stories are integrated in a easy way for young kids , bringing to life the stories we all know and love.

Jane Eyre was just as delightful as Alice and Wonderland, though the colors were not a bright , but that is ok cause Jane Eyre is a Counting Primer not a color one . I found the illustrations to be nice and whimsical and once again this book was a nice twist on the classic Jane Eyre , setting up some key ideas that as the reader gets older they would recognize the ideas in the original classic.

I highly recommend these books for young readers, and I will be looking into getting the rest of the series for my 2 year old .. she loved them.

Here are couple of the other books in the BabyLit series:
