by Charles G. Shaw HarperCollins, 1947
This classic book explores the different shapes of clouds and the imagination that spawns from a child's or an adults mind. By changing the shape each page and not revealing itself until the end, a child and parent/teacher can discuss what the mystery is and later talk about how clouds always change shapes. Though the books is simple, it has lasted the test of time and has continuously made its presence in the classroom and at home.
Activities could include:
Art & Science: Observe the clouds outside and paint the clouds as they see them, using cotton balls as texture and gluing them into place to make a shape from the book.
Math: Counting and charting the shapes.
Literacy: Listing all the objects, matching the shape and the word (for older children)
