ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- This is sheer fun and delight! The reader is asked to guess the shadow portrayed on the page. First we start with something simple: two penguins. Then a giraffe. But then it gets trickier and trickier - that camel is really a llama carrying jelly on its back (to improve its posture) and that bat is really Toby the dog hiding behind umbrellas to practise his yoga - and so it goes. Absurdity rules! Imaginative silliness (and great endpapers!) Lindy Jones

Sneaky Shadows uniquely showcases the limitless possibilities of shadow-casting in a book of imaginative, absurd misdirection. Its humour, pace and timing will have young audiences on their toes with anticipation, as the bizarre scenarios of author SC Manchild unfold. Sneaky Shadows is cheeky, laugh-out-loud fun that enjoys repeat reading from children (and parents!) of all ages.
