nixpix5 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Bruce Coville! Absolutely Bruce Coville. His Midsummer is breathtaking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalmom1125 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Check out the Shakespeare graphic novels on amazon. They have the actual text but pictures to help with understanding. https://www.amazon.com/Midsummer-Nights-Dream-Shakespeare-Graphics/dp/1434234495/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495985081&sr=8-1&keywords=shakespeare+comic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Absolutely Bruce Coville. His Midsummer is breathtaking. A third for Bruce Coville. We just finished SOTW2 and I borrowed a ton of Coville books from the library for the Shakepeare portion. They have become favourites. We like A Winter's Tale the best because of the gorgeous artwork. I will be looking to buy some of them soon... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthmerlin Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Covillle! Also, the 'Shakespeare Can Be Fun' series by Lois Burdett. Her books are illustrated by her elementary students. My 7 yr old loves to see how age-mates draw & interpret Shakespeare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess4879 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 For some reason the forum doesn't like me today and I can't post a link...but we have the (Lego) Brick Shakespeare books. We got a set with 4 comedies and 4 tragedies. Amazon has them. They are great. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I've never seen any that match the Bruce Coville ones. Of course, the Lois Burdett, Marcia Williams, Lego, Usborne, Tales from, etc. compilations and so forth are all good for introducing titles he doesn't have. And there are a couple of others... The Marianna Mayer Tempest is beautiful: https://www.amazon.com/Tempest-Marianna-Mayer/dp/0811850544/ref=pd_sim_14_17?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0811850544&pd_rd_r=NSBY0BM18FJRNFNBW1YR&pd_rd_w=faMU0&pd_rd_wg=cL27t&psc=1&refRID=NSBY0BM18FJRNFNBW1YR And I *think* this is the Romeo and Juliet we checked out of the library once that had lovely illustrations - Amazon has incorrectly tagged it as the original text, so it's hard to be sure: https://www.amazon.com/Romeo-Juliet-Michael-Rosen-2004-02-02/dp/B01FIZC18A/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1496086912&sr=1-2&keywords=shakespeare%27s+romeo+and+juliet+rosen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristin0713 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 We have this Usborne collection and it's great https://www.christianbook.com/illustrated-stories-from-shakespeare/rosie-dickins/9780794529970/pd/529970?dv=%7Bdevice%7D&en=google&event=SHOP&kw=childrens-books-0-20%7C529970&p=1179710&gclid=CNn774jMltQCFcKNswodS1UNIg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
