Monique Forster, 25, an author of the recently published primer, “Learn the 1-2-3s of High Fashion,” likes to claim that the book and its companion volume, “Learn the ABCs of High Fashion,” are aimed at toddlers, preschoolers and overreaching parents who may cherish a hope that their little ones will learn numbers by counting Hermès bags or start chanting “C is for Chanel” before they have learned to spell cat.

The idea, Ms. Forster said, “is to immerse your child a world where learning meets luxury.”

Are she and her co-author, Tilan Rajapakse, who together run the company Lil Spoiled Social Club, peddling questionable values to innocent tots? That could be one way of looking at it, Ms. Forster said. But, she added, “the response has been mainly positive.”

The 1-2-3s book ($24) and the ABCs book ($20) are cheeky by design. As Mr. Rajapakse, also 25, said, “At the least, there’s the fun of hearing a child say, ‘G is for Gucci.’” Ms. Forster said the slim volumes, which share a lineage with others like “The Fashion Legends Alphabet,” have found an audience beyond parents and their children.

“Some people see them as coffee table books,” she said. “They tell us, ‘I don’t even have children. This is for me.’”
