First Avenue Classics
First Avenue Classics offers timeless classics in multi-user eBook formats. From The Real Mother Goose and Little Women to The Call of the Wild and The War of the Worlds, your favorite works of literature have a new home in the digital realm.
From Alice and the Wizard of Oz to Hamlet and Don Quixote, your favorite characters from literature now are accessible from any digital device. First Avenue Classics™ transform unabridged versions of literary standards into compelling digital layouts, making the books appealing and easier to read. Students and educators will be able to use any device to easily navigate the fixed-format pagination and hyper-linked table of contents. When available, original illustrations are also featured.
First Avenue Classics are available for purchase by individual title or as a group using the collection ISBN. Thanks to our multi-user format, educators can open up access to the entire school, allowing titles to be simultaneously used for classroom assignments, book club picks, and independent reading. Each school owns the eBooks forever—no hosting or subscription fees apply.
