Flashlight Dinosaurs: Terrors in Time

by Mark Shulman, Wendy Sleppin (Editor), John S. Dykes (Illustrator)

When the time machine lands, the leader of a band of magazine photographers jumps out and “I smell dinosaurs out here!” Soon, theyÂ're all taking pictures of the three-horned triceratops, the gigantic allosaur, and many more monsters. With just a simple flashlight, kids can project shadows of these monsters on a wall. Flashlight Books are funny and a little scary, but their most unusual features are the illustrations, with die-cut shapes that glow in the dark. Better yet, when kids turn out the lights, then hold one of the bookÂ's die-cut paper monsters so that it catches a flashlight beam, a monster silhouette is projected on the wall behind the picture. Kids can make their own shadow monster movies after theyÂ've read each bookÂ's humorously rhymed story.

This book is so much fun to read make sure you have a flashlight. The shadows on the wall are extra fun. It is a fun book to take camping.
