Ben Clanton does it again! Our favorite cloud, Ploof, is back again with a new interactive story. Ploof, a friendly cloud full of feelings, is making his first rainbow! This is the perfect story time read aloud.

Ploof 2 is everything I wanted it to be. Interactive blowing on the page? YES! Realizing that sometimes we have to react when something goes wrong? YES! Teaching us how to manage ourselves when things go wrong? YES! A joyful and creative picture book with themes of trying your best and feeling accomplished no matter the result.

It’s Ploof’s first time painting a rainbow! In this interactive children’s book, kids can help Ploof paint the rainbow and learn that mistakes are okay when learning something for the first time. They can even turn out creating something even more unique and beautiful!

Ploof is as cute as ever in this fun and interactive children's picture book!

Ploof needs help painting a rainbow for the very first time. Grad some color and a paint bush and we are on the way!

This is a very fun interactive picture book for ages 3-5. With undertones of growth mind set, creativity, failure, and mindfulness; Ploof is by far one of my favorite interactive series on the market.

This book is absolutely adorable! I love how interactive it is as well with things for your child to point to, and actions that they can do to help ploof in his quest to create a rainbow. My daughter loved this book with all the colors and fun activities to help ploof. From the parent point of view I love it for the page helping ploof feel what they are feeling, but also calming down. I loved the pages about not having to make the rainbow in a particular shape and having fun with it. This is a lovely children’s book that I hope gets the attention it deserves.

This was absolutely adorable, I read it to my two children and they loved Ploof. It was very interactive with them.

This is about a cloud named Ploof who wants to paint a rainbow, at first the rainbow doesn’t come out the way Ploof wanted so they got upset. But then Ploof took a moment and a couple deep breaths and tried again!

This is so cute and has an underlying message of try again, and to take deep breaths when upset. Love it!!

Very cute story about a cloud trying to paint a rainbow for the first time -- and how we can react when things don't go the way we want them too. The illustrations are simple but fun and colourful which is a style I always enjoy in picture books. All the questions make it very engaging too!

A new favorite for my 3 year old son!
It's a cute little story about a cloud named Ploof making his first rainbow. It has elements of being interactive, while the questions and actions it suggests are perfect for the story. 
Highly recommend!

Very cute young children’s book full of colour and cute engaging illustrations. We love any book that has lots of colours so this was a big hit.

Super cute book of a cloud trying to make a rainbow. This is just a fun book that a lot of kids will want to read and look at again and again.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.

Reasonably fun! It's working at a slightly higher level than the original Ploof book, which when I got it perfectly bridged the gap between my 1.5 year old and 3.5 year old; this new one I think would be a little beyond my now-2 year old. Not only that, but the original Ploof really had a nice bit of audience/listener engagement on each page, where this one has a few parts where several pages go by without anything to prompt a child to participate in as you read it, which was disappointing. Still, if you have a kid who loved the original one and is now a little bit older it probably will hit a sweet spot -- it just won't work as well if you were to find both Ploof books and try to read them to a child back to back.
