Genre Fiction/Drama/Musical/Humor Ages 7+ Reviews "This is set up perfectly to use an an at-home skit or even a more polished production. Great additions with some cool set projects (Make a spinning wheel) and some acting practice exercises." -Diana L. Zimmerman, Amazon Review "What a lovely adaptation of a classic fairy tale! ... Loved the simplicity of this adaptation. Kudos to the author for putting in so much effort. She’s made it into a ready-to-use recipe. It seems a novice can also direct the play taking the instructions from the book. Even the minutest details pertaining to the design of a spinning wheel, lyrics of the song along with notes of the music, and emotions to be displayed by the characters, have been explained with lot of clarity and precision. I’m sure that young children will love to play the characters, as portrayed in the story." -Anjali, Goodreads Review "Another fabulous play for kids! Followed the same format as the other plays in the Showbiz Series, with the addition of notes on how to build a spinning wheel, which I though was a great idea! Again this is a great activity to do with your class!" -Eileen, Amazon Review Preview To read an excerpt from Rumpelstiltskin: A Play for Kids, click here. |
