For the past week we’ve been trapped inside due to family-wide illness and a foot of snow, so putting together this Wuthering Heights reading kit was a nice break from all the tedium. I had a blast reading through Kate Beaton’s six part Wuthering Heights comic series to find just the right print to include in my kit. I also wanted to include at least one of the many wonderful quotes in Bronte’s book, so I made sure a quote is featured in one of the items below. I tried to avoid candles, scarves, and t-shirts this time since I tend to use those a lot in my kits (gotta widen those horizons!). In the end, I like to think I curated a thoughtful list of fun, unique items perfect for keeping close at hand while you read Emily Bronte’s famous novel. Let’s take a look! 🙂

What would I include in a Wuthering Heights reading kit? I’m so glad you asked…
A spiral pendant embossed with one of the most famous quotes from Wuthering Heights:
“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
Use everyone’s favorite Gothic Romance to teach your favorite little reader about weather.
You’re gonna need this to get you through all those rainy days on the moor.
A print of this brilliant Wuthering Heights comic from the artist behind Hark! A Vagrant!
You’ll need this literary insult chart if you want to keep up with Catherine’s sass.
You’ll want these Wuthering Heights coloring pages when the weather is too bleak
to stand out on the heath staring dramatically into the distance
with your hair blowing in the wind.
Make scowling over the tea table at Mr. Heathcliff a little less tiresome
by spreading this delicious jam on your scones.
A complete hardcover set of all the Bronte classics to grace the library of your haunted estate.
What would you include in your
Wuthering Heights reading kit?
Ha ha! ❤️ It all, especially the coloring pages.
Have you seen the baby lit books? They’re all great for tiny readers like yours! Mine love them, and Mommy is amused by them.
I just discovered them a few weeks ago. In fact, I ordered a few for the Little Mister with his birthday gift card! They have an alphabet book I’m especially excited about. Which ones do you have?
Wuthering Heights (of course!), Sherlock Holmes, Aladdin, Jane Eyre, Anne of Green Gables… I’d love to see Dracula! Or how they did Anna Karinena… They have A Little Princess, too!
If you like those, you may enjoy the kid series Mini Myths. Like Good Job, Athena! Where Athena ties beautiful bows, but Arachne tries to take credit…
I’m probably just obsessed because I have four littles under five years and there are only so many mediocre children’s books one can read. Plus, books like these remind me of all that I don’t have time for reading! 😉
Those sound so cute! I never thought about finding kids versions of myths, but that’s such a good idea. I just now searched out the Mini Myths on Amazon, and I’m saving a few to get for him later. The Hercules one will be perfect for when he has little siblings. Thanks for the suggestion!
