Pop-Up Shakespeare by Martin and Thichener - OPTIONAL

Martin, Reed and Austin Tichener Pop-Up Shakespeare.  POP-UP BOOK.  Illustrated by Jennie Maizels.  Candlewick, 2017.  $20.

Meet all of Shakespeare’s plays and several of his sonnets in one interactive pop-up book.  This is in no way a book for children.  Its not even for someone who doesn’t already know and love the Bard.  This can only really be as a gift for someone who is a Shakespeare fan and likes whimsy.  The illustrations are information are fine.  In some cases the fold outs are hard to grasp and in several cases you have to turn the book around to read the information. 

GIFT – OPTIONAL.  Cindy, Library Teacher
