Thanks to Netgalley for giving me the chance to read this book and reviewing it. This is another sweet reading with my daughter Emma, who doesn't speak English and doesn't know the story either. She loved the words matched with pictures, altough 12 words are pictures are too few to understand the plot. It's a very nice way to introduce classics to children and make them curious to learn more. Thanks to Netgalley for giving me the chance to read this book and reviewing it.

Now this classic I have read the original, and that definitely helped me enjoy this version! Again just 12 words and pictures of (very accurate) felt dolls portraying the action tell the whole story. I find this series absolutely charming, and a must-have for the babies of librarians and English teachers.
Ashley –
This series is not the most eloquent introduction to literary classics for children. But the felt dolls, their expressions, and the authors one word of choice per page spread, are certainly humorous from an adult perspective. Each one of these makes me laugh! And anything that makes me laugh, is worthwhile to me.

Having never read the actual book, I had a difficult time following this story. Perhaps more than 12 words would have helped this one? But I can't complain, because I still got to see those adorable felt figures, and didn't have to waste my time reading the original book!

En esta ocasión, me ha sorprendido que están mejorando mucho en la ilustraciones, en las composiciones de las imágenes y escenarios pero además en las expresiones de los personajes, porque se reconocen perfectamente las emociones en sus rostros y juegan mucho con los gestos, con lo difícil que eso es de conseguir en estos materiales (al menos para mi que no creo que fuera capaz).

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. Oliver Twist 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 for the stories for these children later in life.

The pictures that illustrate Oliver Twist tend toward the darker and I'm not sure how a young child would interpret these. 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.

I received this book in exchange of an honest review from net galley. Cozy classics is a series of classic literature which is converted into a book board. These books are illustrated versions of the classics which depict the prime characters in wool dolls.

Is it pretentious to love this? Am I marking myself as a wannabe literary mom? I don't really care, I just really like the Cozy Classics series. Although I'd never read this particular novel, I was charmed by the way it distilled a story down. It pretty much goes without saying that the pictures are incredible: simple and evocative while keeping the important details. My 2 year old daughter liked it because she could understand so much of the action even without my reading it aloud. It was easy Is it pretentious to love this?

It was easy for her to identify how the characters felt too, which is I think is pretty important.

The concept of the Cozy Classics series is fairly clever. The classic novel is simplified to the extreme with just one word per double page spread. So basically the story is told in only 12 or so words. At my library they get a lot of hype from some of my co-workers, as fabulous board books for all ages. However, I think the star of the book, the highlight of the whole series, is the felted illustrations. They are delightfully amazing!

This was an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I am more than happy to introduce this book to my 4 year-old son. The handmade dolls illustrations are just too cute and very classic. The book only consists of 12 words and each word represents the core of the story. My son learned about emotions through this book. A clever way to introduce classic reads to young children.
Laura –
At this rate, this may be the only way I read a few of these classics!

All Cozy Classics editions are similar: excellent photograph/artistic direction, one word text per photograph. No story. While I enjoy them, my son shows zero interest.

ugh, so unbearably cute
