Mr William Shakespeare's Plays: Entertaining comic-strip retellings of the best-loved plays, perfect for introducing children 6+ to Shakespeare

My 9 year and I love this book. The plays are all four pages long. Very colorful. Story easy to follow and simple. Audience reactions and pic down side are funny and shows how plays were enjoyed at the time. Great read out load. Not to heavy. Was very surprised how much my son remembered and loved Hamlet as lots of dying. My son likes to read but my husband was surprised he enjoyed Shakespeare. Great home ed tool as well. Soft back book so although A4 is easy to travel with.

This is a great way to introduce children to Shakespearere as this is an accessible style for them to read and understand. If they don't like or enjoy a story there is always another one to move onto! The language is adapted into a style children will understand and these are great fun to read. An ideal addition for any child's library.

suitable for my granddaughter(age13) who lives in Australia , who is just being introduced to Shakespeare.Great way to learn more about Shakespeare easily by the animated illustrations .great product .Useful for adults who want to learn about story line of a play quickly .Great book !

I loved the concept of this book and was extremely happy with it. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, is that it was just a little too short - and another 2 pages extra per play would have achieved a more rounded view of the play and a 'Perfect' score (which I rarely give out on books). All in all, this is suitable for young kids, teenagers and also adults who feel they should be interested in Shakespeare but have neither the time nor the inclination to sit through an entire play or adult book - this childlike cartoon approach allows you to know the 'bones' of the story from which you can decide whether to delve deeper or not. I originally purchased this book to go with a necklace for my daughter which had a Midsummer Nights Dream quote on it of 'She may be small but she is fierce'. This is a well known quote (apparently) but it wasn't quoted in this book which was kinda my whole idea for buying it at first. However I think it's a winner regardless :-)

This is an excellent introduction to Shakespeare for Junior children. My class really enjoyed using them and it helped to increase their understanding of the role that theatre played in the lives of the audiences. Fabulous illustrations capture children's attention, - they were excited to find out what might happen next.

Cartoon style rather fussy for my taste but the children like it and that’s what matters. Gives useful overview of stories and characters to aid understanding of the plays therefore enhancing enjoyment.

No complaints, my son in year 3 studying Shakespeare LOVES these stories. Great for learning!

Great book with plays with cartoon animations. Funny comments from audience included with cartoons

Ottimo per far conoscere Shakespeare ai ragazzi ... I fumetti rendono anche un'opera come Hamlet alla portata degli adolescenti

I am effusive about this book, this buy. I am waiting for that time when this book- which enriches my child library will enthrall my babies to read Shakespeare

Shakespear's plays which are in an everday language. Finally brought back to life. The pictures are great and the plays are in two or three pages. If you don't want to wade through shakespear's original plays these are great.

This book is a nice, cute compilation of some of Shakespeare's plays. It is great in explaining not only the storyline, but also what would be going on within the Globe during performances. However, we primarily bought it to prepare our daughter to attend a Shakespeare festival with us, and it didn't fulfill our needs for that. The storylines give a summary, but not enough information to be able to follow along and imagine the full story. We ended up finding another series of individual children's books for each play that worked better for us.

Es un libro con unas ilustraciones preciosas
