Free read The Cloud Spinner º PDF, DOC, TXT or eBook One small boy has a special gift he can weave cloth from the clouds gold in the early morning with the rising sun white in the afternoon and crimson in the evening He spins just enough cloth for a warm. A boy spins beautiful scarves from clouds He has made only two though one to cover his head to keep the heat away when it s hot and another to wrap around his neck when it s cold outside His mother taught him not to use too much Enough is enough and not one stitch But one day a greedy king sees the boy s remarkable scarf and demands that the boy spin one for him only it must be much bigger and grander for he is the king The boy cautions that it would not be wise to use so many clouds but the king will not listen The king demands and until soon there is not a cloud in the sky and the villagers suffer from the lack of water The solution to the problem comes from an unlikely sourceThis is an obvious but not annoyingly so cautionary tale about consumerism and conservation but I found it pleasantly and engagingly told in a fairytale style Alison Jay s uirky folksy illustrations are a wonderful compliment they hold the perfect blend of fairytale style and whimsy I love the way the landscape and the houses have personalities subtly smiling or frowning depending on what is happening Those looking for a new tale along the lines of The Emperor s New Clothes or an unusual environmental story will likely enjoy this one

Free read The Cloud Spinner º PDF, DOC, TXT or eBook Ound him begins to changeFrom author Michael Catchpool and illustrator Alison Jay comes a magical tale about the beauty and fragility of our natural world and the wisdom and courage needed to protect i. This story has potential but was too formulaic to be really great I also felt frustrated by the author s use of the word crimson The illustrations don t match the word which confused my students who are learning English as a second or third languageThe kids seemed to like it than I did but even they weren t very engaged with it
