Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn introduces the irrepressible boy Huck, his journey down the Mississippi River, and his attempts to help his friend become free. It's a first words primer for your literary little one!
The Cozy Classics series is the brainchild of two brothers, both dads, who were thinking of ways to teach words to their very young children. They hit upon the classics as the basis for their infant primers, and the rest, as they say, is history. From Moby Dick to Pride and Prejudice, here are The Great Books of Western Literature for toddlers and their parents in ebook form—a little bit serious, a little bit ironic, and entirely funny and clever.

The Wang brothers dramatically abridge E.T.A. Hoffman’s holiday tale in this addition to the Cozy Classics series, which reduces the story to 12 words, accompanied by photographs of needle-felted characters staged in intricate miniature environments. This adaptation begins with a “gift” (Drosselmeyer hands Marie the nutcracker as they stand before a page of text from Hoffman’s story). Marie’s “sleep” then leads to a “fight” with the mouse king, and she and the prince later “go” to a land of “sweets.” The sumptuously detailed and carefully composed scenes should enchant even readers who know little or nothing about this story, and adults can always help fill in the blanks. Up to age 2. Agent: Emily van Beek, Folio Literary Management.
