Is Moby DIck a children's book?

Cozy Classics "Moby Dick" by Jack & Holman Wang

Last week I was at the local library and found two books in the "Cozy Classics" series. (http://www.mycozyclassics.com) According to the back cover of the book, "This new board book series presents well-loved stories through twelve child-friendly words and twelve needle-felted illustrations".

So, what are "twelve words" that sum up Moby Dick?

• sailor
• boat
• captain
• leg
• mad
• sail
• find
• whale
• chase
• smash
• sink
• float

The artists have made a somewhat puzzling choice of books. Others in the series include; Pride and Prejudice, Les Miserables, and War and Peace. Nothing like cutting hundreds of pages down to 12 words.

Overall I think these are an interesting idea. I can't wait to see them tackle Proust.
