The Great Gatsby: A Party Primer by Jennifer Adams, illustrated by Alison Oliver

 

The Great Gatsby: A Party Primer by Jennifer Adams, illustrated by Alison Oliver

I've been a big fan of BabyLit books since my son was a baby. We had several: Frankenstein, Alice in Wonderland, and Jabberwocky.


I was so excited to see a version for The Great Gatsby even though my son is way too old for them, now! Honestly, I still enjoy them. I love seeing what lines or ideas Adams picks for the books, and the way Oliver illustrates them to convey the meaning of the original text, while making it interesting for younger eyes.

Frankenstein is about body parts, so can you guess what The Great Gatsby is about? Planning and hosting a party! It's so cute and I think it's a fun way to share the story with little kids. They can read the real book later and have their eyes opened, ha!
