Cozy Classics: Jane Eyre by Jack Wang
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
So here’s the concept: What if we made characters out of yarn, and we told the story of a classic book, but kid friendly and in only 12 words?
The answer to that question is No. Wait, it’s Cozy Classics.
I’m sure you’re dying to know which 12 words make up this classic tale of madness and society and describing every goddamn stick of furniture in every room and every meal everyone ate.
But really, the only super important one is STAIRS.
In the picture, we have two creepy-ass dolls ascending a staircase. One of them is holding a candle. Now, readers of the OG book will know what’s about to happen, but in this version, the dolls go up the stairs, then the woman doll leaves the house. I feel like this version skips over a pretty significant part of the story. Maybe the most significant?
I don’t know. What do I know? I don’t read a lot of stories that are made for babies. Except the ones that teach you how to defecate properly. “IN the toilet,” I read aloud and then nod.
