I just bought a copy of Little Pilgrim's Progress. :) It was the illustrations that sucked me in. I'm still reckoning with my past reading of the OG PP when I was a kid. Hoping this version is a better experience for me (and an enjoyable, healthy one for my kids).

My boys love both Winnie the Pooh (the OG books!) and Paw Patrol. It former helps them have a well-rounded toddlerhood (not to mention keep their parents entertained during reading) and the latter gives them a point of commonality with their peers. :)

And yes to what you said about Winnie the Pooh and Paw Patrol, ha! My son has started many a conversation over Paw Patrol, ha!
