Gregory's Shadow (Picture Puffins)

Rating:
Summary: Good for Older Children (4-5 years)
Review: Gregory is a groundhog who loses his shadow. He and his shadow finally find each other and make a plan for Groundhog Day.

This was a little too wordy for my class. I also think this is too abstract for the Three Year Olds I teach. They need to see the shadow stay to learn reality; the fantasy of the shadow and groundhog being separated just didn't make sense to them. But they liked the illustrations and played "catch the shadow"; a game they invented after the story time.

Would be very good for Older Fours and Kindergarten age; especially ones in a good early learning program.
