Wonderful introduction to theatre and Shakespeare
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
My 4 1/2 year old son is riveted by this book and I enjoy every moment of reading it to him. The pictures are wonderful. The story is simple while also interesting. And unlike so many children's books about *nothing*, this also introduced a whole world he didn't know much about, which lead to a fabulous conversation about plays, acting, costumes, customs of olden days, and Shakespeare himself. We have both Mary Pope Osborne's Stage Fright on a Summer Night (Magic Tree House #25) -- which we listen to on CD -- and this was a perfect compliment. I only wish this were part of a series about Shakespeare, children of different periods, or both.

This book is just what I was looking for. A way to share the feeling of Shakespeare's life with children from the view of a child.
