My Review
Every English teacher knows that the best way in when teaching Shakespeare to kids is with his insults! Gloriously rude and ever so funny, he was an absolute genius at making being mean sound hilariously funny and incredibly clever! Children love playing around with this pick of incredible insults and making them their own - and on the reverse of each word in the flip-book is a modern day translation, so that kids can learn while they hurl abuse at eachother in Shakespearean style!
Heads Up!
Although the language in this book isn't exactly 'lovely', it will definitely enthuse kids with the brilliance and power of words cleverly put together - and give them some agency in the process too!
