(4) 4-6 Shakespeare Can Be Fun! series. Shakespeare's play about the melancholy Dane is adapted using rhymed couplets. The verse, which sometimes includes well-known lines from the original work, is generally smooth, though an occasional word or phrase strikes a jarringly contemporary note ("Ophelia, are you dating this noble youth?"). Children have contributed color drawings and brief essays, which increase the accessibility of this volume.
