Heres an innovative story about the water cycle told by a cloud! The cloud describes the process in lyrical prose, complemented by side commentary from a clever bird who fills in the science facts. First, the cloud soaks up moisture, gathering steam from a cup of tea and vapours from salty seas. Then, it becomes full and heavy its soggy edges bulge. Finally, it BURSTS, creating a rainstorm, punctuated by thunder and lightning. Until, at last, its spent, frizzled, drizzled, drained, leaving only a rainbow. With its inventive combination of poetic and explanatory language, this compelling book is ideal for reading aloud and interaction. The accessible text by Jessica Kulekjian and appealing, simple art by Pulitzer Prizenominated cartoonist and illustrator Zoe Si effortlessly teach young children about how clouds form, explaining what water vapor is and how it moves from the air to the ground and back again. Expertvetted back matter includes diagrams and explanations of the three stages of the water cycle, information about types of clouds and an exploration of the life cycle of a thunderstorm. Its a perfect pick for science lessons on weather and the water cycle, and a great companion book to Kaboom! A Volcano Erupts.
