With so many social issues centered the identification and healthy
sharing of feelings, it is important to teach these skills to
children early. "Clarinda Cloud" addresses these issues at a very
basic level in a way that is fun for children. For this reason,
"Clarinda Cloud" would be great for elementary teachers, daycare
providers, parents and grandparents of young children, and child
counselors. Clarinda Cloud has various feelings. With each feeling
her face shows that feeling and she turns a different color. When
she shares her feelings, she turns back to a white cloud with a
happy face. Wonderful discussions could stem from reading this book
with children. "This is Clarinda Cloud's angry face, what is your
angry face?" for example. The reading level is set at a preschool
level. However, considering the basic concepts of colors and
feelings and the repetition of the text, the audience level could
spread from age 2 to 6. With the repetitive text and the whimsical
illustrations, young children of just about any age will feel good
in knowing how to "read" it, even if only be memorization and
taking cues from the illustrations.
