Title: My kids didn't like it.
Review: I have a 5 and 8 year old and I'm constantly looking for interesting books to spark their interest. I bought this one on the strength of the reviews. Yes, the art is amazing and my kids liked looking at the pictures. But the text simply does not make sense to children. This is not a storybook. It is really a fairly abstract poem or prose-poem set against fairly abstract art. This, for my family, was not a successful combination for grade-school level readers. Shadow may be one of those books that works better as a "children's book for adults."
Is the review positive or negative?
