An adorable first words primer inspired by the classic adventure, featuring twelve needle-felted scenes, twelve child-friendly words, and a big white whale.

Cuddle up with a classic! In twelve needle-felted scenes and twelve child-friendly words, each book in this ingenious series captures the essence of a literary masterpiece. Simple words, sturdy pages, and a beloved story make these books the perfect vehicle for early learning with an erudite twist. Budding bookworms will delight in this clever retelling of the classics made just for them!

In Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, meet an enterprising young sailor, tremble at the fierce Captain Ahab, and follow their thrilling pursuit of the white whale. 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 board book form—a little bit serious, a little bit ironic, entirely funny, and clever, and always a welcome gift.

“Why not draw upon some of the world's best literary classics when writing for children—in this case, babies. Brothers Jack Wang and Holman Wang’s forthcoming series of board books rewrite (in a LOT fewer words) your high school English syllabus and depict stories through needle-felted figures (hence the “cozy”).” —Apartment Therapy

“Enchanting . . . Jack and Holman Wang have done a service to literate families everywhere with their Cozy Classics.” —The Wall Street Journal
