In this beautifully illustrated non-fiction book, Young, a master storyteller as well as author, weaves together a mystery as to who stole the Queen’s shadow.  As each animal accuses another, the story is how the accused could not have commit the theft because of their ability, or lack thereof, to see.  Round and round it goes, as each animal’s vision ability is discussed and proves them innocent.  The language and vocabulary isn’t for the younger children as the story is told in more mature language.  At the end of the book is information about how humans see, a glossary of vocabulary used, and an illustration and summary of how each of the animals in the story see and use their vision.  This book is the first of it’s kind that I have read and is so interesting and captivating that it was impossible to put down.  Learning was never so interesting.  Highly recommended.
