"They had forgotten the cold, empty splendor of the Snow Queen's castle like a bad dream. Grandma was sitting in God's clear sunshine and reading aloud from the Bible: 'Except ye become as little children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.' ... And they both sat, grown up and yet children - children at heart. And it was summer - the warm, glorious summer."

A Midsummer Night's Dream: A BabyLit® Fairies PrimerA Midsummer Night's Dream: A BabyLit® Fairies Primer by Jennifer Adams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely adore the BabyLit series, especially the fact that they are 'primers' rather than attempts to retell or summarize the classics on which they're based. That said, many of them contain short quotations from their sources, which you can read aloud or not, as you please. And this one is entirely made up of snippets from the play. I thought we would mainly be skipping those at first, but my daughter loves them! Accompanying the delightful verses are brightly-colored pictures that look good enough to eat (and most assuredly my daughter tries).
