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.

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.

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.

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.

Great I bought several books from Shadow Play - for my daughter and as a gift. My little one especially likes to play with a figures. Highly recommend.
