Introduce your toddler to the world of classic literature with Jennifer Adams and Alison Oliver’s Baby Lit series (Gibbs Smith, $9.99). Adams and Oliver have created a series of board books that teach your kids to count while retelling classic stories such as Jane Eyre, Pride And Prejudice and Romeo And Juliet. I have been trying to finish reading Jane Eyre for about six months now, and if I didn’t already know how to count I would certainly cut to the chase and purchase the children’s edition. For all those tech-savvy babies out there, the series is also available as an ebook. To purchase a copy, visit itunes.apple.com or gibbs-smith.com.
