What you will get:

  • Fun!

Shakespeare is difficult enough in class or watching on stage, let alone trying to teach the stories to children, but as the author's mantra states in the book, "there is no better way to learn than to have fun!" Kids who have read this have also eventually purchased the entire Shakespeare works, and have completed 'hero' reports on Shakespeare at school. Guaranteed to have you coming back for more!

5Funny, Relevant, and Easy to Read for Elementary Kids  Dec 20, 2010
By JP
After three years of teaching Shakespeare to 4th and 5th graders, I have finally found the ideal play that the children can relate to and have fun with. The play is interactive and has great jokes, it is a wonderful way to introduce Shakespeare to elementary age children. It is in modern kid English peppered with original Shakespearean Old English. Basically it is a wonderful way to connect with kids at their level. If you are a Shakespeare purist then this is not for you but, if you want children to love Shakespeare and you want to introduce classic literature to them, then this is the way to go.

5Fun for kids!  Sep 17, 2008
By Grandma
A lot of fun for kids, teachers (and parents for vacations). A brief and modernized view of a Shakespeare play. Lets kids get as melodramatic as they want, learn a little Shakespeare - which includes some famous lines they'll recognize when they get to high school - and it's all wrapped into a 10 minute play. The "adapter" of the play put in some modern language the kids will understand and give them the overall story. The play can be adapted for any number of actors.

Well done! Any more coming?

5Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream for Kids: 3 melodramatic plays for 3 group sizes  Sep 19, 2011
By Electra
My children , who are home schooled, begged for us to by them each a copy of this book after reading the Hamlet in this series. We as a family like the way this series is written and can not wait for more to be published.
I encourage ALL parents who wish to introduce their children to the classics to invest in this book.

5Masterpiece!! No buy anything else!! These are the BEST!!  Oct 28, 2010
By cdenn "cdenn"
I won't use any other Shakespeare scripts for my acting classes!!! These are brilliantly rewritten. No meaning or storyline lost--Funny, current & cleverly put together in which children can relate to the stories. My cast members now beg to do more Shakespeare using these scripts. Built confidence & hopefully--I'm sure of--a lasting love for Shakespeare's works! Bravo!! Excellent!!

5A Midsummer Night's Dream  Apr 12, 2010
By Michelle R. Mccartan
This play was recommended to me by a fellow educator. I am working on the play with gifted 5th graders and we are loving it. We are having SO much fun. The plays are written with valuable and humorous parts for all the actors. I am excited to try other works by this author!
