category and copies were sometimes sold by book dealers for over a
hundred
dollars. Now you can enjoy this work, share it with children, and learn

Me
and My Shadows
Remember that drum set you bought your nephew for Christmas a
few years
ago?
Your brother
does.
Aside from being expensive, amusements like drum sets and pianos are
hard to carry around with you and take many hours of painful practice
to
learn.
In Me and My Shadows there is a gift that is easy to learn,
educational,
physically beneficial, and always "right at hand" to provide amusement.
It is fueled by your imagination.
Buy this book. Give it to your nephew for his birthday. Buy several.
Don't neglect your niece. Your relatives will be pleased and excited by
this gift that will give endless pleasure and amusement to children of
all ages. Where else could you find something this good? It's even a
perfect
gift to give to yourself!
Think of all the hours of enjoyment you can get from having
this
simple skill and this portfolio of characters at your command!
Me and My Shadows is much better than a drum set.
Me and My Shadows gives detailed
instructions on how to
produce 32 basic
shadow puppet figures:
ideal for anytime gift, christmas gift, girl scout,
cub scout,
boy scout skit, idea, craft, kindergarten, kindergarten lesson plan or
Church youth group. Also a great bit of nostalgia for seniors.
