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!

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 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.

An amazing experience OMG!!! That’s how I want to start my review for this absolutely amazing book. It’s such a joy to read it and to play with it. Even though I bought it for our kids I myself (as a woman who once was a girl looking for mysteries and fairytales in every day life) enjoyed it immensely. It’s very user friendly and if you are not in the mood to tell the whole story yourself you can just turn on the audio version of the book that you can very easily open using QR code. If your kids are old enough they can use it too or maybe you will let them tell their own version of “Nutracker”, just to see where their imagination take you. All my family absolutely loved this experience and I’m sure we will read and play with this book many times. The shadow book helps you to create memories your kids won’t forget. I wish I had something like this when I was little. If you are looking for something that brings a joy in your life and at the same time you want to share it with your family - this book is a right choice.

Fantastic books Fantastic books! Really simple and amazing! My kids are excited, and I feel great spending time with them and telling the stories! I purchased these books for my family and as presents for our friends. Package arrived safe without damages. Thank you very much!
