Introduce a new generation to the fun of shadowgraphs through this classic book. All the simple playfulness of the original book has been preserved in this enchanting edition.

Shadowgraphs shows how to produce images of a moose, a kangaroo, a woodpecker, and many other familiar members of the animal kingdom, as well as Old King Cole, his jester, and a whole cast of Mother Goose characters.

With a darkened room, a light, and a flat, light-colored surface, children can have creative fun making hand shadows.  Of course, while making these pictures, young shadow-makers may also accidentally invent their own new poses. That's part of the fun of making shadow pictures—you never know what will appear on the wall next!
