ReviewsThese board books make the perfect baby shower gift for a literary friend. A Midsummer Night's Dream BabyLit is particularly dreamy. It takes elements from the play and pairs them with beautiful, simple illustrations in a "baby's first counting book" style. Romeo & Juliet BabyLit includes pages like "One Balcony" and "Four Roses" along with snippets of Shakespeare's poetry. Fortunately, the Romeo and Juliet board book takes great liberties with the play. No tragedy to be found in this adorable adaptation.
