![]() ![]() The BabyLit series of board books and apps by Jennifer Adams and Alison Oliver bring classic works of literature to young children in a way that's fun for both them and their parents. ![]() However sharing an appreciation of the delicate use of language and beautifully nuanced characters in this classic work is quite a way off for my two year old. One of my favourite novels, Pride and Prejudice, I originally read aged 16 for my GCSE exam essay I've since read it again as an adult and seen both the movie and BBC television adaptations. I studied English and English Literature at GCSE and then on into A-Level ( qualifications gained at UK high schools) and a love of classic literature has followed me into adulthood. As geek parents we get to share our favourite movies, shows, superheroes and more with our children and guide them toward sharing our passions - Wars or Trek, Marvel or DC? Some geeky passions are decidedly easier to share than others however, and nurturing a love of Star Wars with its preschool toy range is much simpler than encouraging a love of classic literature. One of the things I love most about being a parent is being able to share the things I love with a small person who has never seen them before. ![]()
