5.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro to Shakespeare, April 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Twelfth Night : For Kids (Shakespeare Can Be Fun series) (Paperback)

This is one great book. It explains the story very clearly so very young children can understand but still appeals to older children. I think this is a great series to introduce children to Shakespeare. It is so simply written it could be used at bed time, yet it still gets the story very well and is not degrading to the original plays. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Skakespeare Is Fun, September 30, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Twelfth Night : For Kids (Shakespeare Can Be Fun series) (Paperback)

I like Lois Burdett's version of Twelfth Night because I think it is funny and the drawings are by kids. Lois Burdett's second grade Twelfth Night book is easier to read than Shakespeare's original version. It's a good book for kids who don't know Shakespeare and for kids who like Shakespeare. On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, with 5 stars being the best, I rate Twelfth Night 4 stars because a few of the words, like "thee", are difficult to understand.

This is a very funny play made easy for kids to perform. My kids 6 & 8 years old are performing the play next week and have had so much fun with this book.
