Bill's Shakespeare for Kids

"Bill S." Shakespeare for Kids: "Avon Calling", Blood & Other Good Stuffeth, Fools & Fairies, Around the Globe, a Macbeth Is Not a Hambuger, Dadat Dadat Da Dum 

I found this book at the local library. It's funny and educational to read. My sister is a drama teacher and much of what she teaches about Shakespeare is in this book.  Here is an example, "Macbeth-was not an Elizabethan hamburger--he was a character in a play of the same name." Bill S Shakespeare for Kids"  has great vocabualry words that do the word mapping for you!
