Published by What on Earth? Books
Why we chose this:
I contacted What on Earth Books? for review copies of two timeline books (keep your eye out for our reviews!). They included this sticker book with the review copies they sent.
Review
A fun introduction to Shakespeare's work.
This is exactly what it sounds like. There is a giant timeline. There are lots of stickers. You have to place stickers of characters into their correct dramas; blank spaces in the unique shape of each character indicate the correct placement. We were occupied for the better part of a morning and had loads of fun - T said it was "awesome!" T enjoyed selecting which sticker to add, then hunting for its spot on the timeline. Very short synopses accompany each graphic, and T was interested in learning who each character was and what each play was about. He wanted to know more than each synopsis provided, and really tested my Shakespeare knowledge and my eyesight (the print is small and I only got my new eyeglasses after doing this timeline with him). I am excited to read some of Shakespeare's works either again or for the first time, and T is incredibly eager to read Macbeth. We need a toddler version, please!
