Cozy Classics. Les Miserables - Tapa dura

The Cozy Classics series stages handcrafted felt puppets in scenes from classic literature and illustrates the plots of canonical texts using twelve total words per book, one word per scene, in a way that accurately and humourously summarises each book's plot. It's Great Books for toddlers and their parents-a little bit serious, a little bit ironic, and entirely funny and clever. This title expertly adapts the epic and tragic tale of love and redemption during rebellions in Paris: Victor Hugo's Les Miserables.
