5.0 out of 5 stars Great as a Teaching Aid!, November 1, 2001

By	J. Garlen "coolcatjuniper" (HUNTSVILLE, AL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tom Tierney's paper doll books from Dover are wonderful as teaching aids for students of all ages; I use them for college freshmen and sophomores, and my students love seeing the costumes and getting a visual image of the characters and the "look" of the plays. The Shakespeare dolls are amusing because they are Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor (as seen in the film version of "The Taming of the Shrew" of course!), but the costumes are lovely and very detailed. I heartily recommend this book for anyone who teaches Shakespeare -- either for class use or as a personal possession!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Characters from Shakespeare Paper Dolls, March 19, 2006

By	B. Caudill (Cumming, GA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These were beautiful but we had to cut them out ourselves. They had very fine area's to cut around so not really conducive for young children except if mom helps.
