Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 3-Swinburne has taken a simple concept and created an interesting, joyful, and challenging experience for young readers. His pictures remind them that shadows are of all shapes and sizes and appear everywhere. And everything has one, even inanimate objects. The foreword explains what makes shadows, and the following 30 full-color photographs convince children that they are beautiful, intriguing, and puzzling. The inclusion of a guessing game makes the book more interactive than most, but some of the puzzles are quite easy. The pictures are full of life and action in this wonderful world of parades and swimming holes and waterfront walks.

Swinburne sets out to teach young children about how shadows are created, describing night as a shadow on the earth, and giving children tangible reasons for why shadows vary in size, shape, and location. The latter half of the book invites readers to guess the origins of the shadows in vivid full-color photographs; subsequent pages provide the answers to the mysteries. A foreword contains information regarding the scientific reasons for shadows, which can be explained to small children, but it is the array of photographs that truly invites youngsters to take a closer look and analyze the world around them with an eye for the details.
