We found 2 Wordless books that were Shakespearean in nature. Both earned *Starred Reviews* from the School Library Journal.
We recommend them because we feel it's never too early to suggest to kids that the classics are fun ;)

Midsummer Knight
by Gregory Rogers
The Bear from The Boy, The Bear, The Baron, The Bard shows up in this book, this time finding himself in the magical forest inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
He's rescued by Puck (the boy from the previous adventure, who's now wearing wings) and soon the pair are thrust into court intrigue.

Though whimsical, these books serve to introduce children to the themes and world of Shakespeare.
