Children's Literature

Young children love to discover their shadows on a sunny day. Shadows are explained to them through the use of cheerful photographs and clear text. Readers will learn that night is the largest shadow on earth and that all objects can have a shadow if the conditions are right. Pictures of easy to guess shadows are shown with the caption "guess whose shadow?" As children turn the page, they will see the object along with its shadow. Kids will be encouraged to explore their own shadows and to make shadows using other objects. This is the perfect book for the toddler who is learning to explore and chase his or her own shadow.
