What I especially like about this particular BabyLit addition is how it takes something as iconic as this Sherlock Holmes case and cheekily formats and restyles it into something so enjoyable and so exactly RIGHT. Each page of the board book features one object and the facing page features the sound of the object.

For example: we have wheels that 'clatter', leaves that 'rustle', and fire that 'crackles'. If you have ever wondered how an adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles might look if adapted adorably and cleverly in board book form, then look to this title from the popular BabyLit series!įocusing on a slew of sounds, as imagined from Arthur Conan Doyle's famous work, this BabyLit Sounds Primer features ten objects and their respective sounds. She lives in Salt Lake City with her husband, Bill Dunford, who is also a writer. Jennifer works some evenings at her local independent bookstore, The King’s English, to feed her book habit.

Jennifer graduated from the University of Washington. Her titles also include books for adults, including Y is for Yorick, a slightly irreverent look at Shakespeare, and Remarkably Jane, notable quotations on Jane Austen. Jennifer’s picture books for children, Edgar Gets Ready for Bed, Edgar and the Tattle-Tale Heart and Edgar and the Tree House of Usher are inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The Raven.” She also has two new picture books forthcoming from HarperCollins. She is the author of another series of board books, My Little Cities. Her bestselling BabyLit board books (published by Gibbs Smith) introduce small children to the world of classic literature and have sold 1.5 million copies.
