Why does a shadow move when the object causing it does? Why can't you grab a shadow?

What shadows do we interact with on a regular basis that we don't recognize as shadows, such as a cloudy day, or night's blanket of darkness when the Sun is on the other side of Earth giving them their daytime? Anything opaque can cast a shadow, but objects that allow some light to seep through will make dimmer shadows than denser objects. There's a lot to learn and consider about the nature of shadows, even for readers who understand the basic idea.

There's a subtle narrative throughout that has a group of kids playing in their neighborhood, learning about shadows while they're having fun. What better way to learn than by playing with friends? Clyde Robert Bulla also raises the topic of shadows cast by artificial light, and this segues into humorous instruction in the art of projecting hand shadows onto a wall using lamplight.

What good is science if you can't amuse yourself a little with it? The accompanying illustrations suggest a variety of simple hand shadows one can attempt. The book's last page demonstrates a particularly complex multi-person shadow figure, a fun challenge to try. Science is a fascinating and entertaining field of study, and What Makes a Shadow? It's hard to imagine a kid not being more curious about science after finishing this book.

June Otani provides wonderful, warm illustrations for What Makes a Shadow? The scene at the park on pages thirty and thirty-one brings Richard Scarry's delightfully busy artwork to mind, a scene filled with kids, grownups, animals, plant life, and inanimate objects projecting their own unique shadows, inviting readers to scan the panorama and point out all the different shadows they find.

It turns the book into an interactive exploration of science, a game that prompts discovery and excitement to learn more.

I'm giving What Makes a Shadow? Clyde Robert Bulla always comes through, and he's done it again here. This is a very nice book.
