"Preschoolers will enjoy the slapstick, but they obviously won't have a clue about the Shakespeare jokes. Older children, however, will be disarmed by the humor, which may make this useful for helping students feel more relaxed about the Bard and his Elizabethan English." Booklist
"DiRocco's artwork is fittingly busy and possesses good Elizabethan costumery and lots of funny detail." Kirkus Reviews
