It Looked Like Spilt Milk by Charles Shaw,
By
This review is from: It Looked Like Spilt Milk (Hardcover)
I am a children's librarian, with many years' experience with preschool storytimes. This is a classic concept book, and one of my favorites. As a read-aloud, I like it better than Eric Carle's more recent Little Cloud. The repetition not only engages the children, it makes it easy for them to respond successfully. "It looked like ..." gives them a chance to identify the shape, with no wrong answers, because the next phrase is "But it wasn't a wasn't a ..." for all. By the time the last page revals that "It was just a cloud in the sky" most of them have guessed,and are pretty proud of themselves. It might be too long for many groups (he wrote it for a pre-television audience) but it is easy to skip pages or speed up. Makes a great feltboard using quilt batting.

good for either ESL class or music class,

This review is from: It Looked Like Spilt Milk Board Book (Board book)
Since the text follows a simple pattern, the book is good for teaching English as a foreign language. Here in Korea, I have had students ask me to read it again.It is also good for a lesson on spoken intonation. The children enjoy playing the xylophone on C-E-A-G-G-G while I read "but it wasn't spilt milk."

It looks simple, but children love it.,
By A Customer
This review is from: It Looked Like Spilt Milk (Paperback)
My 2 year-old son first read this book at daycare. He loved it, and his teacher recommended I buy it for him. The drawings are simple, and the rhyme is repetetive, but it is a story that is very easy for children to join in on "reading." It also teaches toddlers new words like "squirrel" and "ice cream cone" that other books for this age group do not contain.
