Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
"I have a friend who lives in my house," says the small boy who narrates this simple story. His shadow friend follows him down the street and to the park; they "hip-hop down the stairs" and swim together at the beach. Sometimes the shadow "is short and fat. And sometimes he is so tall he can touch the treetops." After disappearing at night, the shadow returns each morning with the sun, because "he is yesterday's night left behind for the day." The stylized shadow has white slits for eyes and dances forth in varied sizes and shapessometimes in a realistic depiction of the child's movements, sometimes taking on an independent pose. Literal-minded readers may object to this approach, but the book remains an intriguing, poetic introduction to the world of shadows. Ages 4-8.

Mysterious shadow,
By A Customer
This review is from: I Have A Friend (Reading Rainbow Book) (Board book)
This is a beautiful book that shows a little boy's relationship with his shadow. The shadow is loyal but mysterious because of the way it changes shape all of the time. Depending on the angle of the sun or where it is falling, it can be short, tall, fat and so on. The last line of the book is great and it can be enjoyed by all because the text is simple.
