Far too often, young children — the five- to eight-year old set — are given monologues written for older actors, making it difficult for them to understand and retain.  This book is truly for young actors!  While not dumbed-down, the monologues provided here are comprehensible, relatable and fun!  You and your young actors will find imaginative “what if” pieces for would-be princesses, cowboys, robots and superheroes as well as real-life issues like unfair bedtimes, making new friends and the horrible taste of broccoli.  Importantly, these monologues change mood or direction so the actor can show a range of emotions.  A few are particularly brief, specific and finely tuned for early readers.  Notably, the topics, language and even the print-size in this book are all kid-tested and approved.
