Just a little practice will have you demonstrating the roar of a lion and the snap of a crocodile; and soon you’ll be putting on an entire show to impress friends and family.

100 shadow animals to learn, ranging from simple one-hand creations to challenging two-hand shadows.

How to put on a shadow show, with advice on using scenery and sound effects for a professional performance.

[Sharon Barrow Wilfong · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic book showing how to make different figures with your hands so that they look like animals in shadow against the light. It's a nice, thick book with hundreds of possibilities.

[Sophie Crane · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great little book, took me back to being a kid again with the shadow figures either on a wall or from behind a sheet. Lots of ideas to entertain.
