Review
"[...] spectacular [...]" * The Bookseller * The plays are really the thing, but these concise and often hilarious takes offer tantalizing hints of their enduring value, along with their content. * Starred Kirkus Review * For readers intimidated by Shakespeare, it's hard to imagine a more entertaining way to get a sense of what these classics are about. * Publishers Weekly * "Five stars! Humorous and cheeky... (it) breaks stereotypes of how Shakespeare should be learned or experienced." * Play Shakespeare * "[...] an absolute treat of a nonfiction book that serves as an accurate if often irreverent introduction to the Bard. [...] This is an ideal gift book for older children." * The Irish Times * "[...] an exciting book with spectacular paper engineering and lots of intriguing flaps to lift." * Books for Keeps, 4 stars * "Pop-Up Shakespeare sums up 39 plays in 20 irreverent pages, with pop-up illustrations by Jennie Maizels. "Families can drive you crazy" is the satisfyingly concise resume of King Lear." * The Daily Telegraph * "39 Shakespeare plays in one brilliant pop-up book. Every school should have this on the syllabus" * The Guardian * "A hilarious summing-up of the Bard's oeuvre, with lively illustrations and information-crammed secret flaps." * The Metro * "An entertaining introduction to Shakespeare, featuring interactive spreads filled with pop-ups, fun foldouts, hilarious summaries, and fascinating commentaries. [...] An accessible and fun read for anyone who wants to learn about Shakespeare in a less intense way." * Carousel *
