The Cozy Classics series stages handcrafted felt puppets in scenes from classic literature and illustrates the plots of canonical texts using twelve total words per book, one word per scene, in a way that accurately and humourously summarises each book's plot. It's Great Books for toddlers and their parents-a little bit serious, a little bit ironic, and entirely funny and clever. This title expertly adapts the epic and tragic tale of love and redemption during rebellions in Paris: Victor Hugo's Les Miserables.

Les Miserables
This story of Jean Valjean, a French peasant, and his desire for redemption. Jean is released in 1815 after serving nineteen years in jail for stealing a loaf of bread for his sister's starving child. He decides to break his parole and start his life anew after a bishop inspires him by a tremendous act of mercy. Along the way, Valjean and a slew of characters are swept into the June 1832 Rebellion in France, where a group of young idealists attempt to overthrow the government at a street barricade in Paris. In telling the story, Hugo examines the nature of good, evil, and the law, the history of France, the architecture of Paris, politics, moral philosophy, law, justice, religion, and the types and nature of romantic and familial love.
