Description

Publisher's Description of Hamlet for Kids
7th book in the Shakespeare Can Be Fun! series intended for children as young as 7: 'Hamlet for Kids' retells the classic tale in rhyming couplets.

Perhaps the best-known of Shakespeare's tragedies, Hamlet has all the ingredients for a gripping story: revenge and power, familial love and betrayal, dramatic sword fights, dark spooky scenes. Once again Lois Burdett has woven her own brand of magic by transforming Shakespeare's complex verse into rhyming couplets. She has created a version of Hamlet especially for children, even as young as seven, and one that readers of all ages will enjoy.

At the appropriately named Hamlet Elementary School in Stratford, Ontario, where Burdett has taught for over 20 years, her students have created wonderful drawings of Hamlet to illustrate Burdett's fluid rhymes. The students' interpretations are vivid evidence of Burdett's clever ability to bring Shakespeare's complex characters and intricate plots to life for young people.

Category Description for Shakespeare for Kids

Truly enjoyable adaptations of classic Shakespeare! Author Lois Burdett has successfully introduced her second grade classes to Shakespeare for over twenty years. These 64-page books contain simplified versions that are written in rhyme. What makes each book so delightful is the contribution of Ms. Burdett's class. Each play contains their ingenuous commentaries and colorful illustrations, which clearly express their thoughts and feelings about the play. These books can be used as a basis for activities such as writing a character diary, holding a debate, or for the really ambitious - performing the entire play! A short list of activity suggestions is located in the back of each book. Some discussion about antiquated language may be required during reading. ~ Anh
