Shakespeare’s comedy, made interactive for young children

This board-book adaptation presents the story of *A Midsummer Night’s Dream* in simple, child-friendly prose, with present-tense narration and some original dialogue. Bottom the Weaver, Oberon, Titania, and the confused lovers move between Athens and an enchanted wood, where magical events include Bottom’s transformation. Wheels and pull-tabs invite children to find the magical flower and change Bottom’s human head into a donkey’s. The format pairs a retelling of the play’s central comic mix-ups with hands-on details suited to shared exploration.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families introducing Shakespeare to babies and preschoolers
  • Young children who enjoy interactive books with wheels and pull-tabs
  • Fans of *A Midsummer Night’s Dream* seeking a child-oriented retelling

Gorgeous illustrations transport the reader from Athens to the enchanted woods, while tons of interactive elements invite kids to find the magical flower and switch Bottom's human head for a donkey's! Fans of the play will be delighted by the book's attention to detail and clever use of original dialogue. And the book's super-sturdy board means everyone can enjoy this outrageous tale over . . . and over . . . and over again!
