My advice, get the personages The quality of the books and cut outs are wonderful. This is a family project/activity, not a bedtime read. Great for family game night or camp outs. It took multiple attempts in different settings to get the light, distance and height just right to display the shadow, and several sets of hands. The only light that we've found to work is the phone flashlight. We tried flashlights, lamps, camp lanterns. As the website says, a light with one bulb, no reflectors or lens works best. My 5 year old loves the shadows but the personages are her favorite.

My daughter loves the cinderella book My daughter loves the cinderella book. She loves listening to the story and creating her own version

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.

This is a really fun and creative way… This is a really fun and creative way to read a book with your little ones. It's perfect for right before bedtime when you are all winding down. It's also great for family bonding as you can each take part in the experience; someone holding the flashlight, someone telling the story, someone playing with the included puppet, etc. and you can change it up every reading! So glad I came across these books on Instagram! Love them!!

My daughter loves her Shadow Play book! The Cinderella story is truly perfect for my book-loving, princess-obsessed 4-year-old! It's very well made and brings so much magical creativity to the story. My daughter loves it and I bought one for each niece and nephew.
