Review:

Shakespeare for Children" is a wonderful book to introduce children to Shakespeare. --Your Grandchild Magazine

What Cass's book offers is a friendly guide through the bard. It offers brief narrative which sets the scene but never gets in the way of the text. --The Arts

Through judicious editing, the interpolation of descriptive passages and footnoted definitions, and through the use of lushly romantic illustrations, he has found the perfect complements to Shakespeare's own words. --Resources For Historical Theatre
