Macbeth: A Potions Primer exposes little ones to the language of Shakespeare and the iconic witches from Macbeth, with their frenzied dancing and filling of the cauldron with eye of newt and toe of frog. The book also includes a bonus glossary of the potion ingredients with the names people from Shakespeare’s time would know along with the contemporary common herbal names.

BabyLit ® is a fashionable way to introduce your toddler to the world of classic literature. With clever, simple text by Jennifer Adams, paired with stylish design and illustrations by Allison Oliver, these books are a must for every savvy parent’s nursery library.
