A Midsummer Night’s Dream
FROM SARAH:
This is one of my favorite picture book retelling of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It has everything going for it — clear and excellent storytelling, plenty of use of Shakespeare’s original language, great illustrations (though they are a bit darker in nature than the other illustrated versions on this list), and easy read-aloud-ability.
You can also check out the fantastic audio versions (BBC Radio I Folger Library).
Great for ages 4+.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
A simplified prose retelling of Shakespeare's play about the strange events that take place in a forest inhabited by fairies who magically transform the romantic fate of two young couples.
