The Cloud Book


This book is about clouds. It is a non-fiction book that takes advantage of illustrations to entice the curiosity of children. It tells us about cirrus, cumulus, and stratus clouds. It goes even further and describes types of cirrus, cumulus, and stratus clouds. The book gives a lot of information, but is not too dense for enjoyable reading at a first to second grade level. It includes fun facts like the sailors' warning and what kinds of shapes people see in the sky. I enjoy the Cloud story, which is really a comic about clouds.
