artistic excellence meets childhood imagination! This is a unique idea yet brings back happy memories of a hand shadow book that my parents (I am 75) used when I was a child. I love that all children can see it at the same time, and it is a shared experience. Imagination is a treasured gift and I love to create opportunities for my grandchildren to use their minds and find joy. I am thrilled at the artistic excellence of the book. Thank you for creating this!

Good gift I received the book as a gift for my son's birthday. It wasn't easy to figure it out at the beginning, but my child showed imagination and now every evening we fall asleep with Shadow play. Sometimes we fantasize and invent our own fairy tale with heroes. The child is happy and so am I, now if we are asked: "What do we want as a gift?" I know what my son wants. This will be a new book of Shadow play.

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 dad purchased two of these for my… My dad purchased two of these for my kids. The cut outs are really cool and the concept is awesome. 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.

Nicely made, but bad story. The physical book is very nicely made. The cutouts are sharp and look good. I purchased the Halloween book. I was very disappointed in the actual story. The book has a picture of a witch riding on a broom. The story is about two kids who's vegetable garden comes alive. Hardly a spooky Halloween story. Nothing to do with a witch. Again, very disappointed.
