Publisher's Description of Much Ado About Nothing for Kids
Retelling of the classic play written in rhyming couplets and accompanied with unedited writings and art by children to help narrate every page of the book.

"What, my dear Lady Disdain! Are you yet living?" These famous lines from Shakespeare's comedy Much Ado About Nothing delightfully show the verbal sparring between the reluctant lovers, Beatrice and Benedick who are happily brought together at the end by the schemes of their friends. And, no story is complete without at least one evil character, Don John, who unsuccessfully tries to tear apart the wedding plans of Hero and Claudio, the other lovers in this sparkling tale.

Written in rhyming couplets, Much Ado About Nothing, the eighth book in this successful series, captures all the exciting elements of the original story, and is truly a delightful read for both adult and child.

Lois Burdett has been a teacher at Hamlet Public School in Stratford, Ontario, for over twenty years and her expertise in bringing Shakespeare to life for children as young as seven is reflected in the children's clever insights and wonderful drawings which complement the play.

Her success has resulted in an ever-increasing demand for workshops as far afield as Europe and Australia where she instructs educators on how they too can familiarize young children with Shakespeare.

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
