I went up on Amazon to try and find some books that my children could do independently. This was one that I chose, and I am so glad that I did. The kids were fascinated with all the neat hand shadows they could make out of their hands, and how relatively simple they were to copy and make! They already had a fascination with hand shadows and flashlights and now they are even more fascinated. The book has page after page of neat, detailed shadows that are somehow still very simple to make. What really struck me about this book is that it will be excellent for years to come, it was interesting enough for me to look through it and try the shadows in addition to my very young children. I can't recommend a book higher than this one!

I bought several books on this subject. This one blows the others away. You will not need another book on this subject. The Lincoln and Nixon head figures are amazing. The author knows his stuff.

A great book. It should come with a little flashlight, just for fun. I had a lot of of fun with this one. My six year old thought it was a really fun activity...and she still plays with shadows...even weeks later. A great buy for all the fun the kids will have:)

my 9 year old daughter likes to lay in bed and make shadows on the ceiling from her nightlight. Some of the instructions are a little vague, but she either improvises or figures it out

This is just what you would think---good clean fun and as fascinating to youngsters today as it was to us years ago. Expand their imaginations and enjoy it with them!

I had a shadow book growing up and wanted one for my kids. From what I found this one had the most in it. The only problem is that a lot of them are pretty advanced. I believe in letting kids try anyway, but just as a heads up they might need some help and/or practice.

My grandchildren loved this shadow picture book! The price was very reasonable and the book was shipped promptly. It was fun showing the kids how I, too, made these pictures on the wall when I was their age. We will enjoy this gift for a long time.

This book was straight forward and easy to use. Easy to understand pictures were fun for my 7 year old to try.

Interesting book - some of the shadows easy to execute, some not. This book takes a willing child and adult as they giggle together in the dark of a bedroom making shapes on the wall.

Simple to understand and lots of pictures - This book has really enlivened my family's summer! The kids are having a great time with this book and the adults as well...there are easy shadows to make and more advanced methods - but they are all very well laid out and explained in this book.
