The white shape silhouetted against a blue background changes on every page. Is it a rabbit, a bird, or just spilt milk? Children are kept guessing until the surprise ending -- and will be encouraged to improvise similar games of their own.

Big Book edition is black instead of blue!!!!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: It Looked Like Spilt Milk Big Book (Paperback)
I have an old hardcover edition that my students enjoy, but they enjoy a felt board version that I made even more because it was easier for all of them to see. So I was very glad to see this classic come out in a Big Book edition. However, it was SO disappointing when I received my Big Book and saw that the background was black in this edition rather than the blue background in my small hardcover. Which is true to the original?A blue background helps preschoolers connect the dots between this book and watching clouds in the real sky. And the picture on the Amazon site shows the book as blue, too. Skip this Big Book and stick to using a felt board, teachers.

The Magic of Everyday Experiences,

This review is from: It Looked Like Spilt Milk Big Book (Paperback)
Lying on a blanket in a field, gazing up at a clear blue sky filled with sparkling white clouds is a wonderful way to spend precious time with the children you love. Recreating that experience with them by reading to them snuggled close to your side is nearly as nice. This book lets you enjoy a slow paced journey through an experience that most of us can identify with. The illustrations are clear and bright. The text is just as you might have shared while on that blanket it the field. My grandchild's preschool teacher had the children each create symetrical white paintings, added their own words describing their "cloud" and put them all together in a class book. It was stunning!!! The book is fun for preschool children.

It Looked Like Spilt Milk,

This review is from: It Looked Like Spilt Milk Big Book (Paperback)
This very old book, copyright 1947, is still a favorite of elementary school and preschool children. It leads the reader through possible definitions of simple, not completely defined, shapes that in the end are said to be "just a cloud in the sky." Children love it because they feel so smart predicting what each drawing is. Also, their next visit out of doors has them all looking at the sky for clouds to define. Cute book that keeps their interest to the end.
