内容简介"The Tempest" is an exciting tale of jealousy and betrayal, magic and romance, repentance and forgiveness, and has all the elements necessary to ignite a young child's imagination and creative energy. By her use of rhyming couplets, Lois Burdett has once again succeeded in transforming Shakespeare's complex verse into a format readily understood by children.Children's enthusiasm toward Burdett's adapted Shakespeare is evident in the wonderful drawings and anecdotes created by her Grade 2 and 3 students at Hamlet Elementary School in Stratford, Ontario. Together with the five other books in the successful and beautifully produced "Shakespeare Can Be Fun!" series, "The Tempest" will delight teachers, parents and children.Lois Burdett has been bringing Shakespeare to her elementary school students for 20 years. She is in great demand throughout North America for her workshops where she teaches how to familiarize young children with Shakespeare. Among other commendations, Lois Burdett has received the Encyclopedia Britannica's National Award for Early Childhood Education. She has also been instrumental in prompting teachers to incorporate Shakespeare into the curriculum of early grades, helping foster a love of serious literature to last a lifetime.

编辑推荐From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-Sticking closely to the series format, Burdett retells the story of The Tempest in rhyming couplets. Her students' drawings filled in with clear bright marker colors, along with the children's boxed comments, provide the book's primary appeal. The main text is distinctly plodding-especially when compared with the original. While it's true that the simple couplets might be easy for an adult to understand at first glance, they are not exactly a breeze for early readers, the audience for this book. It would require almost as much effort to use this text for a performance (as suggested) as it would to perform scenes from the original work or to have children create their own improvisations on the story. Burdett's techniques for exciting children about Shakespeare certainly seem to work well with her own classes. It seems sad that other youngsters might be handed a finished product rather than the fun of creating their own interpretations. The final page contains suggestions for parents and teachers.
