USSo 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.

USMy 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.

USCombination 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!

USNicely 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.

USartistic 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!
