Book Reviews of The Children's Shakespeare
Book Review: Fantastic introduction to Shakespeare for younger children
Summary: 5 Stars
I read and reread this book as a youth. The stories read much like classic fairy tales with tragedy, irony, and moral lessons. The writing is very accessible and encouraged me to seek out the full length "stories" in their original (play script) form once I was old enough (6th/7th grade) to really read them.For a child who has a love of literature, these retellings of the great plays may start a life-long interest in Shakespeare's art (as they did for me).
