I don’t think I’ll have enough positive things to say about BabyLit Books. What originally started as just a query for the Gift Guide, has turned into one of the best experiences I’ve had as a blogger. In case you missed it, we’ve already talked about the Frankenstein Build and Play App.
I might have mentioned that this was part of their Halloween Package that we got.
How cute is all of that? We got a Dracula tote, Dracula themed buttons, and two BabyLit books that are perfect for a fun and friendly Halloween!

First, let’s talk about those books! BabyLit takes classic literature and puts into a child friendly form, often adding concepts (counting, colors, etc.) for a bit of edutainment value. As a lover of classic literature, I fell in love with BabyLit pretty much at first sight.
We started with this one because, I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a vampire junkie. I wouldn’t exactly call it a guilty pleasure, but vampire books and movies have always been a favorite of mine. Dracula, by Bram Stoker, remains as one of my favorite books and I’m also quite a fan of Anne Rice. So, to see Dracula from BabyLit was a real treat this Halloween!
Squeaker enjoyed the illustrations, I enjoyed that she’s learning numbers. Plus, it’s a fun way for me to continue her introduction to the world of books.
To go along with the app, we also enjoyed looking at Frankenstein: An Anatomy Primer. This is one piece of classic literature that I do enjoy reading around this time of the year. And I’ve enjoyed the inclusion of Frankenstein in several movies. Mostly Van Helsing and Young Frankenstein. That being said, I was really curious about this book- especially since we’ve been having so much fun with the app.
What I enjoyed most about this book is that it’s edutainment at it’s finest. Combining friendly illustrations with educational concepts (in this case, anatomy), we’re able to make this both a fun read and an educational read. Granted, Squeaker doesn’t quite understand the educational part yet, but I know that I can bring out this book when she’s older and make it part of our routine.
With what we’ve seen, so far, from BabyLit- we’ve been nothing short of impressed. I look forward to using these books for years to come with Squeaker, both for fun and education. I know that with this books in our collection, we’ll have a fun and friendly Halloween from here on out.

These look like very sweet Halloween books. My son still likes this to not be scary but still have typical halloween characters like this.
I think these would be great for him 🙂
That Little Master Stoker is incredibly cute…I love it. I’ve always been a fan of Dracula and vampires!
I fell in love so quickly! They make a little plush doll too, so cute!
Those look like some great stories – what a fun time to read together! 🙂
Yeah, we really enjoyed them 🙂
Yes! They also have a Goodnight, Mr. Darcy that I can’t wait to get my hands on, lol. I wish they’d been around when I was a kid!
These books just look like they’re a lot of fun! I especially like the Frankenstein one, or should I say “Anatomy Primer”. 🙂
That one is turning out to be one of my favorites 🙂 I almost wish my youngest was a bit older so we could use it in a Homeschool lesson.
