Great...but misses the mark.

Format:Board book
I do love the concept of this board book for babies, but I feel the author didn't really think it through very carefully...or doesn't know the play very well. Of course everyone will have different opinions on what text should be written for each number, but how could she miss on the number "2"? The first two words of the entire play..."Two households"...has got to be a given! Instead, Adams writes "2 loves." I beg to differ here, too. Surely Romeo and Juliet share ONE love! For the number "5"...to have written "5 friends" (fair enough) but in the picture are Tybalt and Mercutio??! Are you kidding me? These are not friends! I hope Adams continues to make board books for more of Shakespeare's plays...but I hope she does her homework first.

SPOILER ALERT

I do not understand why they changed the ending. Shakespeare's version, involving teens poisoning and stabbing themselves, is an excellent cautionary tale for babies about the consequences of premarital sex. What a missed opportunity.
Also, this book would be better with zombies.
That said, the art is super-cute. Babies will enjoy chewing on this while their parents congratulate themselves for being literary and giving their spawn a leg up in the competitive world of 2029 college admissions.

Cute board book - but I'm a R&J snob!

This board book is super cute for the sheer fact that someone has turned R&J into a children's board book. The art is very pretty, but I was definitely hoping for a little more on the inside. I agree with the people who said the number 2 should be for 2 households and I agree that the 5 friends are not all friends! But my 16 month has no idea about Shakespeare and she's happy to throw the book at our cats. She also enjoys reading it upside down, so go figure. I'm happy because the book is cute and she's happy because she has a new book. I ordered Pride and Prejudice so we'll see how that one turns out!
