K-3Shakespeare Can Be Fun! series.
This adaptation of Shakespeare's comedy, written in rhymed couplets ("I have a story, with an all-star cast, / Set in Sicily, in times long past"), loses the key component of the original work--the language--but may still serve as an accessible introduction for young readers. The accompanying color illustrations and brief, related letters and stories are provided by children and give the book a kid-friendly appeal.
