A Treasure Chest of Shakespearean Discovery!!!,
By
This review is from: Shakespeare And The Elizabethan Age (Treasure Chests) (Hardcover)
This is not a true book, but a delightful book-shaped treasure chest filled with wonderful things to explore the age of Shakespeare. New and complete, "Shakespeare and the Elizabethan Age" contains a model of the Globe Theater to make; a Shakespearean timeline poster; Map of London from Shakespeare's time; Guide to the plays of Shakespeare; 32-page book about the immortal Bard; and a replica 16th-century printing set to make a personalized print poster (includes movable type and ink!!). This is a great gift for yourself and your favorite Shakespeare freak, young or old.

Shakespeare and the Elizabethan Age,
By "cbbear@flash.net" (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shakespeare And The Elizabethan Age (Treasure Chests) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent way to engage older children in exploring literature. There are activities as well as information on the life, times, and works of Shakespeare. It would be difficult for a child younger than nine or ten to complete the projects, but it would be excellent for an older child, especially as an introduction to one of Shakespeare's works. It allows a child to explore the time period as well as the theatre. It is well packaged in a very neat "book" with a drawer and compartments for the various parts; it is easy to store without losing the smaller parts. It even comes with a lock and key!

Disaapointing,

This review is from: Shakespeare And The Elizabethan Age (Treasure Chests) (Hardcover)
I had hoped this "chest" would turn my students on about Shakespeare and the Globe. Pieces were missing from the Globe puzzle, which was quite small, and it was scant on background facts.
