Why to Shadowville, of course, a hideaway paradise where shadow revels reign from dusk till dawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichael Bartalos' captivating text and engaging antics of this busy shadow creatures will intrigue every reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing an inventive, retro-style art, Bartalos follows those mysterious creatures known as shadows. At night, when there's no light, the shadows head to Shadowville, where they surf, sail, play sports, and even go shopping. The rhyming text is clever (\"At five o'clock some shadows shave\" ), but the book's design and artwork are really what are so much fun. Geometric silhouettes, some tame, some wild, move with frenetic energy across the pages. Kids, both alone and in groups, will pore over the pages, picking out their favorite shadows. Another good addition to the growing canon of art that mixes a 1950s sensibility with 1990s panache. --Ilene Cooper, Booklist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReading age: ‎ 5 - 8 years\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viking","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51196486385962,"sku":"72525","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/2879\/4922\/files\/AE8CB236-1D05-451F-9618-4A3FDEF93FAC.jpg?v=1772486136","url":"https:\/\/stuartngbooks.com\/products\/shadowville-72525","provider":"Stuart Ng Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
