The premise behind Baby Edits is simple: let babies edit classic literature, and see what happens!
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a toddler, being in possession of a toy, must be in want of whatever-that-is-his-sister-has.
- Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of breastmilk, it was the age of weanong, it was the epoch of cuddles in bed, it
was the epoch of having to go to bed early, it was the season of nappies, it was the
season of The Potty, it was the jumping-up-and-down-in-muddy-puddles of hope, it was the tantrum of
despair.
- Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Under-Threes
Last night I dreamt I went to soft play again.
- Daphne Du Maurier, Rebecca
This is my favourite book in the whole world, though I have never read it, exclusively because another child is attempting to take it from me.
- William Goldman, The Princess Bride
Reader, I chewed it.
- Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

ReplyDeleteOh no... I didn't know there was already a series of books called BabyLit!
ReplyDeleteI may have to rename my posts, I have no connection to the series (although it does sound pretty good, we may have to look into that!)
