What do you see when you look at clouds?(goodreads summary)
Two bunnies are looking at the clouds together but each one sees them with very different perspectives. One bunny views it with his imagination and the other bunny is all about the science behind the cloud.
This is a very informative book about the various types of clouds but it also teaches us that our imagination is an important part of cloud watching too. It is whimsical and cute how each bunny tries to get their point across to the other. There is a lot of cloud science in this story and kids will learn many things about them and the water cycle. The watercolor illustrations are in delicate hues of blues, green and white giving the feeling of fluffy soft clouds. When the stormy clouds come rolling in the colors changed and depicted another feeling of ominous weather. The back of the story has even more information about cloud forming, more types of clouds and the water cycle. The bunnies learn that each others point-of-view can be fun when they bring science and imagination together. This is a great book for a science unit with a fun art project for the younger ones. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 5-7.~
