Next, we talked about the science of shadows. The narrative explores what has a shadow, how shadows are made, and other aspects of shadows that add context to children’s understanding. I followed up with a non-fiction title, What Makes a Shadow? by Clyde Robert Bulla. The monster turns out to be the shadows of frog and his friends.
The story follows frog and his friends as they try to get across the water at nighttime with only a lantern for light–but a monster keeps blocking their way.

That makes shadows a perfect subject for a preschool science STEM storytime. We see them every day, inside and outside, but unless we’ve been reading Peter Pan, we probably don’t give them much thought. You might be interested to know that my daddy and I are donating all the proceeds from this book to Best Friends, a wonderful animal rescue charity.Shadows. My Daddy is retired now but was in advertising and marketing for many years and has written three other books: Spray the Bear - Reminiscences from the Golden Days of Advertising, Seven Friends Sixty Years Later, and My Box of Chocolates -An Anecdotal Biography. We live in Del Mar California in a big house with a pool on a street where I meet many other dogs. I live with my Daddy who has translated for me.
I think it would be great for bedtime reading. It can be read by itself or read to a child by their parents who take them through each “Shadow Lesson”. In that time, I have learned many life lessons which I hope to pass on to the children that read this book. I am a twelve year old (we think) Black Labrador rescue dog that has lived with my family for about ten years. In that time, I have learned many life les.
