We have all been there (some of still are), that small little child scared by the shadows on the walls late at night after the lights have been turned off. Our imagination takes control and we start to see scary monsters, aliens and bad guys every where.

This little book helps put kids at ease and show them how to take control of the situation by turning the scary things into not so scary things. The back of the book even includes some shadow puppet instruction just for fun.

So if you or someone you love is afraid of the dark get a flashlight and this book, then have some fun.

Book Description: The street lights make shadows on Kevin’s wall! In those shadows, he sees monsters, dragons, and all sorts of frightening creatures. Does he let them scare him or does he find imaginative ways of dealing with these creepy shadows? Find out in this frightfully fun book. Through 15 creative illustrations of silhouetted shadow characters, contrasting with night-time colors, Kevin’s room and his imagination come to life! Illustrations also show how you can create your own shadow figures! From Kevin’s experience, children will learn how to deal with their own shadowy fears. Grades Pre-K to 4.
