However, the way the cutouts fold out make it difficult for one parent to make the shadows and read at the same time. You need two hands for the cut out portion of the book alone. Additionally, though the cut outs are excellent, the stories are poorly written.

son loves them Unique experience and encourages imagination without a digital screen. He has listened to it so many times that he has memorized the reading audio, so he can read it out load.

So much plastic and waste I was so excited about the books but so horrified by the yards of plastic they came wrapped in it ruined the experience. Each book was wrapped in three layers of bubble wrap and a separate plastic wrap sleeve. If you enjoy destroying our planet, this book is for you.

Combination of storytelling and shadows… Combination of storytelling and shadows play! My kids loved it. We were reading and acting the characters, playing with voices, creating our own stories everyone had fun. We picked “The Snow Queen” story that was a great addition to our Elf from the Shelf tradition. There so many activities you can create with this book! Plus, it’s gadget free family bonding time. Good gift for coming holidays!

I like this store. I like this store. Good delivery service. And the packaging is stylish and neat. Book is an unusual, so I often order these books as a gift. As for me, this is a miracle fairy tale and a shadow theater. My kids are waiting for the night to continue playing))
