Quite some time ago, I had the immense pleasure of receiving a couple Pop Classics from Quirk Books. Quirk is one of my favorite publishers, but as my TBR is too big, and there are nowhere near enough hours in the day, these lovely books fell by the wayside.
I received The Karate Kid and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York from Quirk, and I finally got around to reading them!
These Pop Classics are a part of a big series from Quirk. They’re all books that are adapted from popular movies (or TV shows). I really love the idea—it just makes sense!
Obviously, these stories are shortened, and they’re accompanied by gorgeous illustrations. The art is incredible, courtesy of Kim Smith.
I did not plan on reading both of these books back to back; I tend to enjoy spacing out picture books because they’re a great way to break up a heavy TBR. But, I have a coworker with a son who is the right age to read picture books, so I wanted to get them to her. Turns out, they’re addicting reads!
If you’re going to get one Pop Classic, I recommend you change that number. Reading these back to back was lovely, and I think you’ll feel the same. I highly recommend grabbing multiples in a series, like the Home Alone books. That way, you can read multiples without it being disjointed!
If you have a young one who is of picture book age (or know someone who does), these books are perfect for you. I loved taking a trip down memory lane with both books, and I’m excited that I got to share them with a coworker whose son is starting to read.
