Wordless Picture Books: Shadow


Title: Shadow
Author: Suzy Lee
Illustrator: Suzy Lee
Publisher:  Chronicle Books, 2010
ISBN: 0811872807

Summary: This book is a wordless picture book that takes readers on an adventure through an attic. We see a little girl exploring her attic and letting her imagination run wild while flipping through this black, white, and yellow wordless picture book.

Evaluation:  Personally, I think this book is amazing.  I love the simplicity of it, yet the fact that it’s so extraordinary at the same time. The author only using one color along with black and white helps to display the setting as well as allow for children’s imaginations to run wild. This book is cleaver, unique, and definitely entertaining, all without words.

Rating: I would give this wordless picture book 5/5 stars without a doubt.

  1. I know Suzy Lee's other book The Wave. I will have to check out this one since you speak so highly of it in your post!

  2. I really liked The Wave, too. All of her books are formatted similarly, I just really liked the adventurous story line of Shadow!
