This book is great for children who are on their way to reading fluently and captures the attention and imagination of any child. There are simple text and illustrations on each page. It is wonderfully imaginative, showing us how the sky keeps itself busy: helping mountains read newspapers, taking waterfall baths, patiently waiting inside tunnels for trains, sitting in flowers and inside balloons... The author explores this concept in depth, making for a funny and whimsical story. The illustrations suit the story well, but I would say this book is more driven by the story, not the pictures, as some children books are. Guaranteed to please anyone with an imagination!
Love this book for it's great science concept!

First of all I am a hard-core Jasper Tomkins fan! But I use this book to help me teach the concept of air being all around us. Beautiful enticing ilustrations. Fun text! great read aloud.
This is a great book for all ages.

This book, through the use of amazing water color illustrations by the author, leads us through the adventures of the sky. The sky includes the wind and the air around us as well as what we ordinarily think of as the sky. Overall the book carries a message of respect and reverance for the sky as well as all of the earth.
