Shadows (revised)
A storytime on Shadows is great for Fall, and involves lots of activity and simple science information. Use flashlights to let parent and child make shadows on the wall. For a craft project, have each child cut out a simple shape using black construction paper, and guess what type of shadow it represents. Or, make these Superhero Shadow Signals (similar to the Batman signal), seen here: https://handmadekidsart.com/shadow-stem-preschool-activities/ . Also see our previous version of a Shadow-themed storytime from 2006: www.bayviews.org/storytime/stshadows/ .
Asch, Frank. Moonbear’s Shadow. Bear tries everything he can think of to get rid of his shadow.
Cali, Davide. George and His Shadow. Cartoon illustrations by Serge Bloch enliven this story of a shadow who follows his man all around town.
Charlip, Remy. Mother, Mother, I Feel Sick. Silhouettes illustrate this popular jump rope rhyme, where various things are removed from a boy’s stomach (shown just in shadows).

Long, Greg. Yeti, Turn Out the Light! Scary shadows on the bedroom wall keep Yeti awake.
Robberecht, Thierry. The Wolf and His Shadow. A wolf is uncommonly afraid of his own shadow until he must overcome that fear to save the day.
