Bravo, Mr. William Shakespeare! Book

I've been in love with this book since the age of 7, when I plucked it off the rolly shelves the spring of my first grade year at the Book Fair (the greatest thing to happen to public schools ever).

When you're 7, Shakespeare makes as much sense as wearing socks in the bathtub but I like to think of this as the gateway drug into my full blown obsession with the Bard. It's full of excellent pictures (I'm a sucker for humorous doodles) and is guaranteed to make a bibliophile out of any kid who reads it.

And believe me, when they're sitting in Old English Lit as a sophomore in college, they're going to remember a purple lipped (& eared!) Oberon, and it will all come flooding back to them. Just think, you could be really helping someone out down the road, especially if they forgot to do the reading.
