Book 190 of 300 ~ 2024

🌟🌟🌟🌟

A little cloud loses its parents, and so the story goes. The rhyming was done well, and it didn't feel forced. Adorable illustrations, too.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This is a cute story about a cloud who gets separated from his family.
The verse was written in rhyme, although I felt it wasn't a fun easy going flow if that makes sense, and was a bit more complex - maybe more suited for slightly older children.
The illustrations were very simple, but effective.

First off thank you to NatGalley for the eARC of this delightful book.

At first glance the book is beautiful: decorated with stunning digital art and carefully selected fonts. Any child would be delighted upon getting this in the had, I am sure of it.

The author should be a little more careful: they should avoid being unintentionally problematic. The phrase "you're so white like me" made me choke on my drink and when I showed my teacher wife she agreed that she would not be able to include that in her classes. Just something to think about. As innocent as it is, people pick apart everything while trying to be woke.

Other than that, the plot and storyline and points were perfect and really sweet.

Very cute book, rhyming was very on the nose. Liked the journey with the animals and can imagine my niece and nephew relating to the characters.

I have a bit of a soft spot for children's books written about clouds.

This is a cute story about a lost cloud. The illustrations are for a very young audience but the text is a bit too complex. There is a mismatch that makes it hard to target the audience for this book.

I enjoyed it as an adult with an appreciation for children's books but I would not get it for my library or recommend it to a student.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the eARC.

**The Little Lost Cloud by Shabnam Shaikh**

This children's book tells the story of a cloud that gets separated from its parents during a storm and meets friendly animals along the way.

What I loved most was the illustration. The drawings are incredibly charming, and the vibrant colors make it perfect for kids! The story is also well-written; it’s easy to follow, with short, rhyming dialogues.

However, I found the small text a bit challenging to read. Larger, bolder letters would have made it easier for both kids and adults. Despite this, my toddler enjoyed it when I read it to her.

I would definitely recommend this book for children and would love to see more from this author in the future!
