Michael Rosen's Pocket Shakespeare

Riddell’s illustrations help bring the text to life. * The Bookseller *
What a great concept for a book […] Being so reader friendly, it's super accessible. Certain words or phrases are simplified underneath passages for better understanding of the quotes used. It's also written in a simple and fun writing style, full of questions and thoughts and angles that Michael Rosen guides us to look at when interacting with Shakespeare. * Netgalley Reviewer *
This is exactly what I have been looking for for ages […] it helps at least higher ability UKS2 students contextualise Shakespeare's plays. Thank you for writing and publishing such a great book. * Netgalley Reviewer *
This book is magnificent! I love it! Aside from the winning combination of Michael Rosen and Chris Riddell, who could probably rewrite the phone book together and make it a masterpiece, the way that this book makes Shakespeare so accessible and engaging, is brilliant […] Chris Riddell's exceptional artwork features throughout, supporting the text but also just being brilliant in its own right. * Netgalley Reviewer *
Loved by young and old ( a national treasure ) Michael Rosen is the consummate wordsmith and master of poetry. This "Pocket Shakespeare" book is a fantastic compendium to introduce and help readers- Upper key stage 2/Lower key stage 3 - dig deeper into understanding the prose of Shakespeare without being overbearing […] Chris Riddell's superb illustrations further add a depth and drama to the selected prose. This is a must for home enjoyment and superb class book to share with readers to open their minds to the fulfilment that Shakespeare can give. A winner. * Netgalley Reviewer *
Great snippets from Shakespeare with Rosen’s illustrations, commentary and word definitions […] I got so much out of it. * Netgalley Reviewer *
Why have I - a 31 year old woman with no children of her own - read a book aimed at 9-12 year olds, filled with stories I already know and love? Well, because it's by Michael Rosen of course. I would read his shopping list if I could, I love his work so much […] a great introduction to the work of Shakespeare. * Netgalley Reviewer *
