Summary of the book: This book is about the different shapes clouds could be. It is a very simple book and easy to read to young children. It keeps children guessing what the shape could be. Could it be spilled milk, a rabbit, bird or is it just spilled milk?

How can the book be used with students in the classroom: After reading the story I would have the children take a white piece of paper and tear it anyway they like. After doing that I would have them glue there torn paper onto a blue piece of construction paper and tell the class what they think there paper could be. The different shapes of paper show that clouds are in many different shapes.
