Clouds

Simple sentences highlight facts about clouds, weather, and animals' need for water. Readers are encouraged to use their imaginations when looking at clouds. While easy to read, the vocabulary is also interesting and relatable, though Delano tries too hard for lyricism ("...playing hide-and-seek with the moon and stars"). The bold, bright, dramatic photographs fill the pages. Contrasting headings, fonts, and captions bolster readability. Cloud-watching tips are appended. (c) Copyright 2015.
