Moderately enjoyable novelty

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2020

This is a moderately enjoyable reading tool, and at the price of a second hand book you can't go wrong.

My only warning would be that you do have to actually wait until it is dark enough to read the book. And if your kids have a fixed bedtime..... Then that could be a problem.

Recommended at the second-hand price.

One or two of these is good enough.

Great concept for a book but unfortunately, I could not get the shadows to be clear. They were way to blurry to be enjoyed by a crowd or an individual. Too bad!

A fun novelty book

Fun book to read at bedtime, shining a flashlight to see the shadow pictures on the wall. Worked fine with my phone’s flashlight.

I don't if it was, but some pictures were hard to interpret. Wonder how this would work in a classroom.

I enjoyed the poetry of the writing, and I'm looking forward to rereading it with a light to shine through the windows 😊

Sweet concept! You shine a flashlight on the pages in the dark and the illustrations are shown on the wall. This would be even better if the illustrations built up as layers throughout the book. The writing's uninspired as well, unfortunately.
