Zap

Paul Fleischman's 'Zap' is a truly unique and uproarious chapter book that presents seven different plays, from the works of Anton Chekhov and Agatha Christie to Richard III and performance art, all being performed simultaneously. The narrative 'zaps' between these disparate scenes, creating a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud farce reminiscent of Monty Python. It's a fantastic introduction to different dramatic styles and the concept of parody, perfect for children aged 4-11 who enjoy clever humor and theatrical fun. Parents will appreciate the literary references and the sheer ingenuity of the concept.
