Clouds represent the large visible ensembles of drops or crystals suspended in the gaseous atmosphere. Clouds in the Earth’s atmosphere result from the condensation or deposition of water vapor. Clouds on other planets may result from the condensation of the other gases. For example, clouds on Venus may consist of sulfuric acid drops, some clouds on Mars may consist of CO 2 ice crystals, and the clouds on Jupiter may consist of H 2O–NH 3 drops and CH 3 ice crystals (e.g., Curry and Webster, 1999). Hereafter, we consider the Earth’s water clouds, although most of the equations in this book can be applied with appropriate modifications to the clouds of other substances on other planets.One reviewer said that their toddler was already bored with the book because each cloud illustration looked so similar. The main character, Ana Paula, obtains the help of her friends, including Paco the dog, to reach the Kingdom of Clouds.

The afternoon is white, which results in a cloth matching that color.

A sole negative review read: “A useful book to help six year olds and above to think about death of a loved one. Sad to see grandparents not included in the list people who can provide a listening ear if needed. Personally, I found it less useful for under six year olds.” If your child (aged four through seven) sees animals and other shapes in the clouds, they’ll love The Cloud Book by Tomie dePaola.
