Synopsis

At last! Here's an audiobook edition of an Eric Carle 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 in a story that will encourage the youngest child to read clouds.

Goodreads review by Canette on April 06, 2024

I like the story, but illustrations are not like in the other books by Eric Carle. I wish to change them a little, because looks a little boring. I like this that little cloud changes its shape, for example: hat. Its interesting, and children can like this book.......more

Goodreads review by Rod on March 06, 2023

It was never a book we bothered to re-read.......more

Quotes

"Carle's luminous collage art features broad, swirling strokes reminiscent of finger painting. As minimalist as the text, these images may well inspire kids to cast more creative glances at the sky." --Publishers Weekly"Simplicity itself....A perfect story-hour choice [that] segues nicely into a trip outside to look at the sky." --Booklist
