Pop-Up Shakespeare Book Giveaway!






Did you know that April is National Poetry Month? Along with it being poetry month, April 23rd is National Talk Like William Shakespeare Day. I have a fun little giveaway that will help you celebrate both holidays.




Pop-Up Shakespeare
Every Play and Poem in Pop-up 3-D
by The Reduced Shakespeare Co., Austin Tichenor and Reed Martin
illustrated by Jennie Maizels



Read about William Shakespeare’s plays, sonnets, and poems as you never have before in an entertaining pop-up book collaboration between the internationally known comedy troupe the Reduced Shakespeare Company and best-selling illustrator Jennie Maizels. Featuring five interactive spreads filled with dramatic pop-ups, fun foldouts, hilarious summaries, and fascinating commentaries, this is the perfect introduction to one of the world’s greatest playwrights and his enduring works. This book has dozens of interactive flaps and pop-ups to explore and read, it is a lot of fun for all ages. I do want to note that this book does include all of his works, on one small part of the book it has a "Shakespeare's Long Poems" which doesn't have the entire poem but gives a short description of them including one titled "The Rape Of Lucrece", it doesn't have the poem it simply says "Dark and Violent and not romantic at all." Some parents may not want their child to read that little section and start asking questions about what it is so I would skip that little flap or perhaps tape it down? 

This book gives shortened versions or information about each of his works, it does not include the whole plays or poems. For example "Romeo & Juliet" gives a summary of the play but leaves out their deaths at the end. 

I have two copies of this book to giveaway, you can win one by filling out the form below:

I would have to say A Midsummer Night's Dream. Romeo and Juliet is also another favorite of mine!

Measure for Measure. Really, I like all the comedies.
