The text is full of the rhythms of spoken language and begs to be read aloud." Junior Education "The retelling of the plays is done with great individual style." The Bookseller

Format:Paperback
My children were going to see their first Shakespeare for Kids production of The Tempest. I wanted to read them something that would introduce them to the characters and the plot so they knew what was going on. Not only was this book fairly short, but there were little pictures of the characters and key scenes so it was easy for my 6 and 5 year olds to follow. I would totally recommend this book - it makes the plot so simple and understandable for the wee ones.

I bought this book to introduce my young son to Shakespeare and he thoroughly enjoyed it. It is worth noting that if any grown ups wish to introduce themselves to a Shakespeare play that they are not familiar with, this range is an ideal place to start.
