Little Cloud by Eric Carle
Playful Little Cloud likes to stand out from the crowd. While all the other clouds drift up, he goes his own way, changing shapes as he pleases. He becomes a sheep, an airplane, a shark, and even a funny clown. Yet as fun as it is to play make-believe on his own, it's also fun to play with others. When Little Cloud goes off to join his friends, they join together into one giant cloud - and rain!
Eric Carle uses his trademark collage art - this time, a festival of blue and white sprawling across each oversize spread - to celebrate the sky-high possibilities of imagination. Use this charming book as an exciting story-hour prelude to a class cloud-watching field trip.
