Summary: Beautiful and inspiring
Review: I first saw this book at the library and after taking it home was so impressed with the content. The poems are lovely and the illustrations are beautiful. It is also a wonderful idea to have a little question at the end of each poem to search for a 'hidden' object in the picture (i.e. for 'd', 'can you find my drum'). This book is such a wonderful catalyst to introduce children to the wonder and beauty of the alphabet and the words that they create. I suggest utilizing a real shadow box with objects beginning with a letter in conjunction with the book. Continue the wonder with fun that even your children can help to create ('What can we add to the shadow box that begins with the letter A'?). Thank you Ms. Seeley. Yours is a beautiful book indeed :).

Summary: WONDERFUL
Review: MY 2 1/2 YEAR OLD SON AND I LOVE THIS BOOK! ONE OF HIS FAVORITES. WE LOVE TO LOOK FOR ALL OF THE HIDDEN ITEMS ON EACH PAGE. WE'VE READ IT SO MUCH, HE HAS MEMORIZED MANY OF THE ITEMS AND WHERE THEY ARE. A GREAT LEARNING TOOL. THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE GREAT AND IMAGINATIVE.

Summary: A breakthrough book!
Review: My 4 year old son was severely speech impaired when he started bringing me "The Book of Shadowboxes" to read. Every day I would read it to him and he would point to the wonderful illustrations. After about 4 weeks, he began to say some of the words from the book. Every time we would read it together he would use a new word from the book. It was neat how he would point to the pictures and say the names of the items. For us, it was a miracle; for my son, it was just fun! Thank you Laura Seeley for this delightful book; it made such a huge difference in our son's life !

Summary: a must have for your childs library
Review: This book is educational and will provide hours of fun for child and parent. While you read the poem for each letter of the alphabet, your child tries to locate the objects mentioned. The poems are unique with a wonderful rhythm and the illustrations are fantastic. Infact, it seems as if each time you look at the page you find something new. Once your child has located all of the items listed in the poem, you will find many other objects hidden. A great game for the young child who can not read is to have them tell you what they have found and let you look for it. I can't recommend this book enough!

Summary: My son's favorite book
Review: What can I say about a book that gets chosen over and over by your child? As the parent, I am glad to read a book that is so clever and challenging for BOTH the child and the parent. Hunt and find helps you bond with your child as you seek out the various objects etc. in the shadowboxes. "There's the anchor, Mommy!" Wholeheartedly recommend this book.
