Customer Reviews

great intro to Shakespeare

I can't say enough about this book. Rosen does a superb job moving the story along with some paraphrasing, but also using a great deal of Shakepeare's actual words. I was disappointed when I went to the library to find Shakespeare for children, most books don't capture any voice. If you want to show them what the fuss is about- this is for you. And the illustrations are beautiful.
