This was fun. It was like not other Macbeth I have ever read. The zoo puts on the show, but like Mystery Science Theater 3000, there is audience commentary, feedback, and participation. Plus in this version of Macbeth, the Lion eats his enemies.
Great Fun, good graphics.

If you have ever wondered what the zoo animals do at night, well they put on shows. They start off with Macbeth, the famous play by Willy Shakespeare. The play is presented and we the readers get to see not just the play, but the audience thoughts and participation. We find out why things like intermissions happen. This was the simplest but craziest retelling of Macbeth ever put to paper. I loved every minute of it. Between the three witches trying to find the perfect witch laugh, and the queen dealing with her “spots”, kids will get a nice basis for the story, and have a better time than they would with a Great Illustrated Classic.
