AlbakiReads Editorial

A cloud shapes its own adventures

Little Cloud begins by drifting away from the other clouds, transforming into familiar shapes including a sheep, an airplane, a shark, and a clown. The story then shifts from solitary invention to joining the group, which gathers into a single cloud before rain falls. Eric Carle’s textured collages in sky blue and white bring the changing shapes into view, connecting imaginative play with looking closely at clouds. The simple arc pairs visual transformation with a gentle contrast between doing one’s own thing and coming together.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children who enjoy picture books about clouds, weather, and familiar shapes
  • Families sharing a story that invites children to spot shapes in the sky
  • Eric Carle readers interested in his collage illustrations

Book overview

At last! Here's a brand-new board book edition of an Eric Carle picture book that's a favorite with littlest cloud gazers everywhere! Little Cloud likes to stand out from the crowd. When all the other clouds drift up, he goes his own way, changing shapes to become a sheep, an airplane, a shark and a funny clown. It's all lots of fun, but so is playing with friends. So this time, Little Cloud joins the crowd, gathering with his pals into one giant cloud. And then they rain! In Little Cloud, Eric Carle celebrates the possibilities of imagination with textured collages of sky-blue and white in a story that will encourage the youngest child to read clouds. Eric Carle lives in Northampton and Charlemont, MA.
