Pop-Up and Play Spooky Shadows

Here's a terrific set of spooky pop-up pictures to capture the Halloween spirit. Five sets of black cut-out silhouettes pop up from two-page spreads to show against colored backgrounds that suggest autumn skies at sunset and at night. Enclosed with the book is a small flashlight, which kids can turn on in a darkened room. When they flash the beam against the silhouettes, they create magically eerie shadow effects. The shadows of a graveyard, flying bats at the window, a fierce shark at a shipwreck scene, and a spooky castle scene will all seem to move and flicker when the flashlight beam is cast on them. It's a wonderfully creepy set of pop-ups that come to life in a book of pure fun.
