Classic in a Format All Children Can Love
 
A classic tale remade into a board book for the little ones to enjoy. When Lucy stumbles upon a wardrobe and goes into it, she finds herself in the magical land of Narnia. Here, she meets Mr. Tumnus who tells her that Narnia is curse to only have the winter season. When her brother Edmund follows her through, he wants candy so decides to side with the witch. So with the help of her other siblings, they need to find Aslan and rescue Narnia and their brother Edmund.

THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE is a fantasy middle grade series that I adored when I was younger. With the board book format, I can share my love for this book with my daughter who still doesn’t have the longest attention span. C. S. Lewis does an excellent job at summarizing the whole book into a condensed version perfect for younger children while hitting all of the main points. The illustrations are adorable and I love the vivid colors that leap off the page. It’s refreshing to see our favorite characters in a way that all children can enjoy.

Final Verdict: I would recommend this board book to fans of C.S. Lewis, magic, fantasy, and tales of good trumping evil. I’m very happy to see a new form to this series that I can share with my daughter. Looking forward to reading the others.
