The narrator in this favorite poem from A Child's Garden of Verses describes his shadow and the many ways it presents itself, from follower to leader to plain old sleepy-head. A fair-haired toddler capers through soft watercolor pictures that capture the essence of a child's delight with his antic but illusory companion.
