As a mom, I can't tell you how delighted I am that there are so many ways now for younger children to become familiar with the works of Shakespeare.
Two of my favorites are Brandon Kelso's fun plays, and Lois Burdett's great poetic versions of the Bard's tales.
These books are appropriate for young children. Brandon's plays can easily be acted out by small groups. And his and Lois' material can also be read aloud, or left for children to read for themselves.

--I explain how the book is structured, and there is a list of links to all his books, which all have sample text you can read.
