I read “Julius Caesar” first with my 8 year-old son and he loved it. After all it had ghosts and sword swinging… so what’s not for a boy to love.

I recently received my copy of Brendan Kelso’s Shakespeare’s Macbeth for Kids, and I can’t wait to use it in my classroom (6th/7th language arts).
-Mary E. Moore – Teacher
I highly recommend this book to anyone that is looking for a fun and interactive way of learning or teaching Shakespeare! Love, love, loved it!
-Cora – Teacher
The only difficulty I’m having with Brendan’s versions, is that the students can’t get enough and I am having difficulty getting them to do other things. It’s actually a problem that I wish upon all teachers.

Even though Hamlet is a tragedy, for us it was more like a tragedy + comedy=tramedy!! Parents loved it. I will definitely do the play again with my new 3rd grade class next year.

Students can perform the play in language familiar to them while incorporating Shakespeare’s most famous lines.

I heard it around the school for several weeks afterwards!

These plays are hilarious and fun!
– M. N. Oliver – Mom
Anyone who teaches young people can really use this book!
-R. Canfield – Teacher/Mom
Kelso’s ability to mix the modern language with some of the original lines helps to create a play that is engaging to watch.
