Re: Shakespeare for kids

I'm sorry, but I just don't think there is a Shakespeare play
suitable for 3rd graders. In every play, be it a comedy or
tragedy or historical, there are nuances, ironies, and word
plays that are inappropriate for a child of that age. True,
there are "graphic novels" of these dramas, but even these are
not really suitable for 3rd graders.
