A Stage Full of Shakespeare Stories by Angela McAllister
4.0
I thought this book was so cute and I absolutely love this idea.
These are short versions of some of Shakespeare most popular plays. The writing is easy to understand, and the illustrations are bright and beautiful.
This book is a great way to introduce Shakespeare to children, and I think it is so important to make classic literature fun and engaging for children at a young age. If they already have an appreciation for the classics then by the time they are forced to read these stories in school, it wont seem so daunting and it wont seem so boring. It will be easier to understand because they already know the story.
So many kids don't read, and I worry it's because reading was never fun for them, it was always school work. We need to grow and nurture an appreciation for these masterpieces at a young age and having books like this will make that so much easier.
I will definitely pick up a copy of this book when it is released.
