Childsplay: A Collection of Scenes and Monologues for Children by Kerry Muir |
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-5-The author's stated intent is to present a series of monologues that children can perform, and sound like actual children while doing so. The pieces are divided between those designated for girls (26 entries) and those for boys (25 pieces). In many cases, the gender is not important, and the divisions may only serve to limit young performers' choices. All of the selections are brief, ranging from a half page to a page and a half. Many focus on typical childhood situations-relationships with parents, siblings, and friends-but a few stretch to fairy-tale or alien scenarios. The characters represent a range of personalities, from those in need of a helping hand to others who are selfish and demanding. While references to current TV-show characters, brand names, movies, and toys give a contemporary feel to the pieces, they will also date them. A helpful glossary defines stage terms in simple language and is followed by a list of movies with good performances by children, suggested as study pieces. Libraries needing material for acting classes, clubs, or youngsters who audition for roles may want to include this book in their collection.

Gr. 4^-8. Stevens, a children's acting coach, begins by explaining how monologues are used to audition for roles, noting that the best ones for the purpose are less than two minutes in length. Fifty-one monologues are included, with one section of the book devoted to monologues for boys, another to monologues for girls. Though some of the references in the pieces will date quickly, Stevens' selections represent a good range of emotion and contain natural-sounding language. Many of the girls portrayed display unattractive qualities (greed, shallowness, vanity); the boys struggle with real-life problems--dealing with a bully, or with a father's expectations. Still, this may fill a gap in library collections, whether as a source for auditioning material or for short oral presentations. Susan Dove Lempke
