In a somewhat forced narrative, James is scared by the shadows of his curtains in the moonlight, so his parents tell him a story about the shadow animals they make on his wall. After they leave, James makes his own shadow animals and feels comfortable enough to go to sleep. The illustrations clearly show how the hands are held to form each animal, and an afterword provides tips on making shadows.
