Cloud Dance Book

Until the last 2 pages, titled "About Clouds" and "Types of Clouds" the book's text seems to serve mostly as a vehicle for its illustrations. The illustrations are pretty, and somewhat informative. But I was disappointed. if the information part of the book was going to be so flimsy and also directed at children, I would have liked at least one page where clouds were in the kind of shapes where kids could guess/say what they looked like, what objects and other things they seemed to look like; that was a fun activity I did with my friends and others when I was young.

Then, after the painting, the reader gets to those last two pages, and there is an abbreviated summary about types of clouds. it is scientific and geared toward elementary school kids. But, for adults, young adults, and even older children, the best book I've found out if you want to educate yourself about clouds is The Book of Clouds by John A. Day. For a brief overview, this book is fine. But, it didn't really grab me. I liked the book, but I wasn't wild about it. If it gets readers to explore further, that would be wonderful. And, I like the book's title.
