Romeo, Juliet and Wishbone

I think that if you are looking to be introduced to Shakespeare's story plots, particularly Romeo and Juliet, this is a great book to read. It is very informative and Wishbone triumphs yet again in making it a fun read. I read this book when I was very young, and when the time came to read and preform Romeo and Juliet in school, I knew and understood more about it then virtually all of my classmates! I will never regret buying this book- it's a treasure trove for ages nine and below!

This is an awesome book!

Romeo and Juliet is a great book. Right away you get involved and attached to the characters. I found myself rooting for the characters through the whole book. I was hoping they would finally get to be together. You'll have to read it to find out if they do. Get ready to laugh and cry!

Wishbone books are like detailed cliff notes!

Wishbone is the funloving Jack Russel terrier from PBS. He explains quotes from the real Romeo and Juliet while some how capturing the real passion of the story. If you've always wanted to read Romeo and Juliet, read the Wishbone version, you can understand the words and get the whole story in one.

A story o f love and hate

Romeo and Juliet is a story that gets to ones hearth! As Romeo and Juliet fifght for thier love to come in beteween thier families theres alot of obstacles that come in between!!!

This love story will touch your heart.{Don't say ew!}

I've read a lot of the Wishbone books, and this one I'll never forget. Instead of the "Old English", like "What light through yonder window breaks" the people at Wishbone have translated it to language you don't have to wonder about.It is a great book, even if you don't like love stories. I advise you to read more Wishbones, Dear America books, and you should check out the Panky books for my review. { I should know. I read all the books in my library!}
