The Boy, The Bear, The Baron, The Bard

The Boy, The Bear, The Baron, The Bard - Gregory Rogers
Roaring Brook Press
ISBN: 1-59643-009-5

My rating: 5 out of 5

Even though no text appears in this book, it is not really needed. The pictures in this hilarious story of a boy who unwittingly travels back in time to Elizabethan Europe tell the reader everything they need to know. What amused me the most about this book was that the boy was being chased the entire time by none other than William Shakespeare for interrupting one of his plays.

This book is put together in a style very similar to a comic book, which I love. There are panels of illustrations on each page that expertly tell what is going on. These drawings are done just like cartoons, which kids will enjoy even more.

I highly recommend “The Boy, The Bear, The Baron, The Bard” to everyone. Kids will not be the only people who enjoy this.
