Overview


This series features classic Shakespeare retold with graphic color illustrations. Educators using the Dale-Chall vocabulary system adapted each title. Each 64-page, softcover book retains key phrases and quotations from the original play. Research shows that the more students read, the better their vocabulary, their ability to read, and their knowledge of the world. No one shall marry Bianca, claims Baptista Minola, until her older sister Katherina is wed. Bianca is sweet and gentle, while her older sister, Kate is an unruly shrew. Will anyone be able to stand Katherina long enough to marry her allowing Bianca to be happy wed herself? A plan to win Bianca's love leads a match for Katherina. But can a shrew be tamed?
