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.

We came back for more We ordered shadowplay as Christmas gifts and my 4 year old and 1 year old both loved them. My son begged for more so we ordered another set. This time we ordered the companion puppets and he loves to work those as I light the normal story. I appreciate the written story too as it’s been a while since I heard some of these!!

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!

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.

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!!
