With simple words and charming illustrations, Clyde Robert Bulla and June Otani explain how shadows are produced. Young readers will discover what makes the shadows they see and will be introduced to the fun of making shadows of their own.

Children's Literature
Children who are learning to read can learn about their world with the "Lets-Read-And-Find-Out Science" series. The series is well conceived such that the developmental reading and interest level are matched. Many outstanding nonfiction writers and illustrators are contributing to the series. For ages three to six there's Stage 1 books which include Bulla's What Makes a Shadow? This revised edition contains updated illustrations, but the text itself, which explains clearly what shadows are and how they are formed, has stood the test of time. Also available in audio format.
