Cozy Classics is a series of board books for very young children that attempts to introduce them to classic works of literature. The books are illustrated with handmade felt dolls.

Emma contains just 12 words. Words that will be somewhat key to those familiar with the story. To those not familiar, I'm not sure they would mean anything. It would be interesting to see if these words could embed a love pictures for the stories for these children later in life. I think the pictures in Emma were my favorite of the three books I chose to review. They are bright and colorful and I think they would really appeal to young children.

The series is cute, original and works on more than one level. I think many adult literature lovers will be picking these up for a smile.

I was given a review copy of this book by Smith Publicity and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for letting me review this adorable entry in the series.

Oh, how darling this little book was! I absolutely loved it. It was such a simple read that did just enough to enchant and delight.

Before I even opened this book, a wave of excitement hit me. To think that the story of Emma could be summed up so succinctly. Well, that's exactly what was accomplished with this Cozy Classic.

The visual artistry of the manipulatives and the colorful backdrop of the scenes fit together perfectly. I was captivated.

The character expressions, the body language and gestures, and the story itself were communicated masterfully.

I want to read every one of the Cozy Classics. I cannot wait to introduce them to my kids.

Outstanding! I dare say that I hope more and more and more of these books come in the future. This creative work was a gem; that is no small thing.

Rating: 4/5
Recommend: Yes
Bookshelf Worthy: Yes, it's a keeper!

A complimentary ebook was provided to me by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Every word I have shared is indeed my own.

(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review).

This board book is for children aged 0+ and shows highlights from the beloved classic, Emma by Jane Austen. There are 12 pictures featuring felt dressed dolls and words that will help children read.

Let's be honest the people buying this book will be Jane Austen and/or Emma fans for themselves even if they let their kids borrow it at times ;) or that could just be me (when I have kids). It is a fun and cute book.
