"This book can be used to discuss clouds, weather, geography and traveling, and imagination. Little cloud shapes himself into all different things. Not only can fun craft projects be done with this, but kids could be taken out side to find a cloud shaped like something else and could write about it or draw pictures of what their cloud wants to be. This book would also be a great Engage in a 5E because it does not explicitly discuss science."

    " Who loves to look at clouds and the shapes they make? I know I do! In this book there is a little cloud that gets bigger, makes a bunch of different shapes, moves around, and makes rain. This would be a great book for introducing a science lesson on clouds and the rain cycle. It would also be a good way to get students outside and looking for shapes in the clouds themselves. "

    " This was yet another Eric Carle book that I found lacking in story. It is cute to talk about how clouds can look like other objects, and my toddler liked naming the shapes the little cloud morphed in to, but it wasn't very fun to read. "

    " This book is ideal for Pre-K to Kindergarten to get them thinking about clouds. Where do we see clouds? What shape does it have? I would use this in the engage portion of a 5E lesson plan. After reading this book, we would go outside and look at the shapes of the clouds. "

    " A small cloud drifts away from the other clouds. His adventures are many as he changes into many different shapes of the things he sees. What fun! Eventually the rest of the clouds drift back and Little Cloud joins them once again so they can fulfill their purpose: dropping rain. "

    " This book is about a cloud who drifts away from the rest and morphs into things that he sees (ex: a hat, a plane) and at the end of the book he goes back with the rest of the clouds to make a rainstorm. The book could be used in a weather unit. 1st grade. "

    " This is collection of short stories, which I've found more tolerable to read than other Joyce works. Still, all places, emotions and names of the characters are repetitive. Not to mention how sad, unhappy and frustrated are all people in those stories. It's rather depressing. Good for one read. "
