For more than 20 years, Lois Burdett has asked that question of her elementary school students in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, leading them on a voyage of discovery that brings the Bard to life for boys and girls ages seven and up. A Midsummer Night's Dream for Kids , written in rhyming couplets is suitable for staging as class plays as well as reading aloud. Review: A wonderful book brilliantly conceived - This book is written in rhyme and illustrated with children's drawings. It also contains letters, lists, and other kinds of writing (for example diary entries) written by children in the character's voices. The rhyme, written by Ms. Burdett, brilliantly explains and clarifies the complicated plot lines of the play and is evocative of Shakespeare's language. The writings by the children make the feelings and thoughts of the character's even more accessible to children. They also model how children can use writing themselves, if they are so inclined, to deepen their comprehension of a piece. As a Reading Specialist and writing teacher, I think this book is extremely valuable as an introduction to "A Midsummer Night's Dream." My granddaughter, who is 8, is currently enrolled in Shakespeare camp and is performing a little scene from this play. She and I have had great discussions and laughs as I read the book aloud to her. This is just one of several books which summarize Shakespeare's plays I am using to familiarize her with the Bard. It is a great beginning for this study and could also stand alone. We loved it. Review: Entertaining and painlessly educational! - Bought this for my 4th grade granddaughter, prior to taking her to see her first Shakespeare play. It stuck very closely to the original play, not only true to plot, but in verse that was similar to, but easier to Shakespeare's original. We enjoyed reading this together, and she was prepared and excited to see the play. It was done in original Shakespearean form and language, but she was able to not only follow the plot, but to thoroughly enjoy and laugh at it. I'm a retired English teacher, and I will be ordering more of this author's books for other Shakespeare plays ! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #800,951 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #133 in Children's Theater Books #760 in Shakespeare Dramas & Plays #32,375 in Schools & Teaching (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 152 Reviews | ## Images ![A Midsummer Night's Dream for Kids (Shakespeare Can Be Fun!) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71R8+IWXsiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful book brilliantly conceived *by J***R on August 6, 2014* This book is written in rhyme and illustrated with children's drawings.

She enjoyed the book immensely and identified with the children writers and artists whose work illustrates the book. Although a second grader she was able also to recognize the "original" spelling of the children, including learning that the Canadians spell honour with a "u". We've now watched the film of the play and will see the play next week. I'm looking forward to that. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Midsummer Night's Dream for Kids (Shakespeare Can Be Fun!) - Romeo and Juliet for Kids (Shakespeare Can Be Fun!) - Hamlet For Kids (Shakespeare Can Be Fun!) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/5699657-a-midsummer-nights-dream-for-kids-shakespeare-can-be-fun](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/5699657-a-midsummer-nights-dream-for-kids-shakespeare-can-be-fun) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
