What's Shadow Night About

Publisher Summary

In a reassuring bedtime story by a beloved picture-book illustrator, little James learns how his dark room can be a fun and fanciful theater for shadow pictures. Mommy and Daddy come running when eerie, flickering shapes give James a fright. Is there a Monster in his room? No, just shadows. James’s parents can make shadow shapes, too-and soon a menagerie of friendly shadow animals dance across his bedroom wall, acting out a funny story. Now James is not afraid anymore, but he can’t resist a little shadow play himself before snuggling down to sleep. This endearing story about comforting childhood anxieties will ring true to any parent and provide inspiration for hours of family fun-at bedtime or anytime.
