Why read it?
1 author picked Romeo and Juliet for Kids as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I believe in starting things early! Children can latch onto creative ideas oh so quickly. Don’t ever think they cannot understand and love Shakespeare. Like most all things, if presented in a creative, interesting, stimulating way, children jump right into the ebb and flow of a story and are carried away as they engage their imagination.
