It Looked Like Spilt Milk by Charles G. Shaw

I fall in love with this book after I read it several times!! Because the book were composed by two colors: blue and white; the colors left me on a vivid image. At the first time, I could not catch why the illustrator only chose two colors through this book. However, while I finished it, I thought I knew the illustrator’s purpose. Because the author used blue as sky; white as clouds. I didn’t know it until I read several times, and I really impressed by illustrator’s creativity!! It proves that if we pay more attention to surroundings, we have imagination and can be a child anytime.

This book, I think, is suitable for all ages. Because everyone has the ability of imagination, sometime it was forgotten; therefore we need stimuli to give us fresh thinking or crazy ideas. This creative and imaginative idea definitely reignites and arouses my imagination again!! There were many pictures such as rabbit, squirrel, ice cream cone and so on. But these are just usual pictures while we lift up our head to look at the sky. It can be any pictures if we are good at imagination. The illustrator used Milk to describe clouds, changeable but a natural magician. Even today, I still think clouds are candy floss, fluffy and delicious. For me, clouds are naught children, shaping different pictures on the sky. Expect those animals and pictures mentioned in the book, sometime clouds made dogs, bears, and dragons. (Of course, all were my imagination^^) However, it indicates that when everyone read it, they can image as many images as they can because clouds are very naughty. People cannot guess what clouds going to present.

Besides, this book is good for children to practice this sentence pattern: “Sometimes it looked like……. But it wasn’t …….” Not only learn fixed sentence patterns but also start appreciating our surroundings.
