Unlike most of the other BabyLit books, this one had some little quotes with the words that I believe added to the book.
I requested the library purchase some BabyLit books after I saw them reviewed on The Chronicles of a Children's Book Writer Blog. The idea of board book classics for young children fascinated me. I have to say, after having checked them out, that I can see how making adult stories palatable for young children would be difficult. But the illustrations were all cute. I liked the Moby Dick Ocean Primer best as it included some small quotes along with the ocean vocab. Not to mention ocean vocab is more interesting to me than colors or numbers. =)

I saw this on Wowbrary right around the time I requested the BabyLit books and decided to do a comparison. The art is very cute - the figures made of felt which provides a sense of texture (to clarify - the art is pictures of the felt figures, so no actual texture). Maybe I just prefer Moby Dick over the others in general.
