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.
I went up on 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!
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!
It actually has presidents in it, amazing things like that. It has things you never dreamed of creating with your hands on a wall with shadows. You'd have more fun than the kids, probably. Nah, they'd love it, too!Highly recommended
Didn't realize it was such a short book. Much of the book focused on personages from 1950s and earlier that few today remember and are amused by. The cover was misleading and led me to believe it will have hand shadows of mostly animals, whereas in reality only half were of animals. At $6 it is a huge waste of money and I wish I hadn't bought it.
LOVE this book! My kids and I have been making your typical shadow puppets during summer vacation hotel stays for years. (I know, it's a strange family tradition, but it's FUN!) This book is full of animals, plants and people that I never imagined trying to create. It also offers tips on how to get the clearest shadow. Some of the shapes are very difficult, but we have had fun trying to attempt them and discovering our own creations when we mess up!
