REVIEWS

"This collection of plays is good for a large group of diverse ages (including non-readers). However, they would probably not be of much interest to students over 10. The cast sizes are all large"

"I'm a drama teacher and I use this book in my introduction courses with students between the ages of 6-12. I've used every script in the book to put on a show over the past year. I've used the exercises included to help the kids develop their characters and think about the story in a critical way...this really helped improve their performance. I think this book is excellent and would recommend it to both classroom teachers and drama teachers alike"
