153. Board book: Persuasion: A Colors Primer. Jennifer Adams. Illustrated by Alison Oliver. 2024. 22 pages. [Source: library] [3 stars]
First sentence: Beige house. Sage dress. Navy coat. Ivory sails. Mauve ribbons.
Chances are you've heard about picture books for older readers or picture books for adults. This is an example of board books for adults. The babies that get Persuasion read aloud to them will have parents that love, love, love Jane Austen and/or love English literature. It's not a super-practical book when it comes to actually being a concept book teaching colors. Not a primary color to be found.
What the book accomplishes is being cutesy. If Persuasion is one of your favorite books. If you love reading and watching Persuasion. If you know the story backwards and forwards. Then this book might bring a smile.
I enjoyed it. Persuasion is my favorite Austen. I don't think it's a super-necessary books for most parents. However it is a novelty-board book of sorts--targeting adults who LOVE Austen.
