Crushing on a Capulet

Wow! This story has certainly made an impact on my children. Even at 6 & 8 they came away with a good understanding of what a tragedy is...the style of Shakespeare and the classic quotes from Romeo & Juliet. I even learned more. The jokes made us laugh out loud and yet by the end we had tears in our eyes. I only hope that more will be published on like classics as it was a wonderful way to introduce Shakespeare to my children. One that they will remember.
