Love the tall, narrow format.

Sweet for the littlest ones, each page shows a different kind of sky: Sun Sky, Storm Sky, Dream Sky

We both really liked this one (my 3 year old and me). I've come across so many books recently with exceptional illustrations, that I keep seeking them out, hungry for more. We're quite fond of other [a:Audrey Wood|3368|Audrey Wood|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg] books, such as [b:Quick as a Cricket|815263|Quick as a Cricket|Audrey Wood|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178649549s/815263.jpg|1611721], so when I saw Blue Sky displayed in the "New" shelf at the library I grabbed it. The text is super simple, two words per page spread. But these simple descriptions of sky take you through a whole day of events and atmosphere, and the illustrations are simply beautiful. This is a feel-good book!

Audrey Wood's newest creation contains very few words. In fact, there are only two words on each 2-page spread. While its simplicity of text means that Preschooler can “read” and enjoy this book both with and without my presence, it’s the illustrations that tell the story.

And the illustrations? ARE. STUNNING.

Each spread shows a new sky, from dawn till dark, that comes with sun, rain, storms, and rainbows. It’s easy to be captivated by the sky itself, but don’t forget to also look at the bottom of the page, where a family of four also reacts to Mother Nature.
