Reviews
The text is perfectly matched by Ray's jaw-droppingly beautiful illustrations, which will enchant readers from the front cover to the final curtain. The greens of the waters and the blues of the island's night sky are so lush and inviting that readers will wish they could enter the book. Peppered throughout the story are italicized fragments of Shakespeare's dialogue, giving both young and older readers something to enjoy...A must-own adaptation chock-full of such stuff as kids' dreams are-and will be-made on. -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Lovely and engaging, this accessible retelling of a theatrical staple will usher in a new generation of Shakespearean devotees...An engaging work with beautiful illustrations. -School Library Journal (starred review)
