Book Review - Where Does My Shadow Sleep?: A Parent's Guide to Exploring Science with Children's Books

About the Book 
Take the time to watch, wonder, ask questions, talk about, and explore the world of science with your child! The activities in Where Does My Shadow Sleep? link great children's books—which you are probably already reading with your child—with easy, fun-filled activities you can use to investigate things like clouds, bugs, bridges, and even mud.

My Take on the Book
This was another great book from this author. I was also able to review one of the other books that she wrote on math concepts in children's books and like the other book this book also provided an amazing array of resources for any parent or teacher. This book had many other books that I was not as aware of as I was in the math concepts book, but that was fine as it opened my eyes to more books that I could explore with my own children. The book was easy to read and follow and the connections that the author makes are easy to follow. I wish that I had found this author's books a few years back as they make a parent's job that much easier because she provides you with all of the tools that you need to encourage and help your children learn while still having fun while they are reading!
