Reviews"While surfing the net today, I found the most adorable new baby board books based on classics! Cozy Classics feature photos of needle-felted figures as the illustrations. They are published by Simply Read Books and written and illustrated by Jack Wang and Holman Wang. They are really retro to me in a great way. What a great way to introduce little ones to the classics!" - In the Hammock Blogspot, "Known as Cozy Classics, these books, rather than picking out small details of the stories, and using them as a counting primer (as in 1 governess, 2 rich gentleman) instead give us an abridged (obviously, as they only use twelve words - but such a masterful pick!) account of the tale. The twelve needle-felted illustrations are exquisite." - LoveDecorateLetters Blogspot, "Enchanting... Jack and Holman Wang have done a service to literate families everywhere with their Cozy Classics" ~ The Wall Street Journal, "Herman Melville's Moby Dick is a book in Jack and Holman Wang's "Cozy Classics" board book series. The series introduces young children to some literary classics "through twelve child-friendly words and twelve needle-felted illustrations". Interesting needle-felted illustrations in this book are for the words: sailor, boat, captain, leg, mad, sail, find, whale, chase, smash, sink and float. Good illustrations will hold a child's attention as they learn words and are introduced to popular stories" - Simcoe.com, "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 the stories through needle felted figures (hence the "cozy")." - Apartment Therapy, "What is Cozy Classics, you might ask? Well, they are a series of board books that adapt classic literature for babies. And boy, are they cute. The books tell the stories of classics using just one word per page, with felt crafted characters. The authors and illustrators are twins Holman and Jack Wang. In the press release, Jack notes: "We created Cozy Classics to revitalize the genre of the baby word books by injecting a sense of narrative and fun for the parent. In doing so, we hope to foster in children a lifelong love of reading and literature." The books actually tell the novels fairly well (or those who have already read them). Holman states: "Unlike Barney and Dora, Moby Dick's Ishmael and Pride & Prejudice's Elizabeth Bennett are characters that children will never outgrow." We couldn't agree more." - Huffington Post, "Perhaps you've heard of "fuzzy math"-now there's fuzzy literature, as well. Literally. A new series of picture books illustrates works like Moby Dick with adorable felted figures. Does introducing classics in this way, to children at such a young age, influence their feelings about literature? I don't know, but these books sure are pretty." - Fiction Review Writers, "As a fan of great literature, we were delighted when we received "Moby Dick" and "Pride and Prejudice". These are not the typical large tomes but interpretations especially for baby. We just love reading them to baby... Jack and Holman Wang did a wonderful job on these books and they will always be in baby's book collection." - A List Baby, "Classics because they are classic stories and cozy because the illustrations are made from felt! Who would have thought you could re-tell Pride and Prejudice in just 12 words Friends, Sisters, Dance… A fun way to share your love of literature with the littlest people in the house or the perfect gift for the Austen and Melville fans." - Kids' Reading Guide 2012, Australia, ""Enchanting... Jack and Holman Wang have done a service to literate families everywhere with their Cozy Classics"" ~ The Wall Street Journal, "Can you imagine? By combining needle felting, scale model-making, photography and an extraordinary talent for editing, the creators have made it possible for parents all over the world to say "My 3-year-old just finished reading Moby Dick. He's reading War and Peace next… and what about your child?" - Jolly Reindeer Website
