Shakespeare for Kids His Life and Times 21 Activities For Kids series Colleen Aagesen Margie Blumberg 8601410844127 Books Reviews

• Such a fun book for giving your kids a bit of basic info on Shakespeare. It's not overwhelming with constant ramblings that no one (truthfully) understands. There are activities, personal stories of his life, and several of his plays. I browsed several Shakespeare books before purchasing this one to teach my children with. I definitely recommend to others.
• Great fun and a smart way to keep your kids and grandkids involved and growing intellectually and playfully!
• I bought this book hoping to use it for upper grades/middle school aged kids in a homeschool setting. I found the book to be informative with regards to the biographical bits, but found little in the way of "lesson plans". The activities provided are simple (Create New Words…just what is sounds like. Use a pen and paper and invent some new words) and didn't provide the depth I was hoping for.
• use this book in my class often!
• Has there ever been a bad book drawn from the Master?
• Brilliant! Brings Shakespeare to a level that kids can understand easily. An excellent purchase.
• It worked for my 5/6 grade classroom. I really enjoyed the activities it included.
• I bought this book on the basis of the fine reviews. It is good, glossy, and an easy read. My disappointment is that I did not realize that this book is not geared to high school students. I had hoped to find activities that would spark my students, but --there is, for me, too big a stretch between text and activity. I can see the making a bird feeder and the references to birds in Shakespeare's works at an earlier level, but not for high school seniors. The book is, however, filled with historical references and good pictures.
