Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Albert and his mum and dad go walking one day in the mountains. Unfortunately, Albert slips and disappears over the edge of a cliff; his parents are very upset. Albert is lucky though--the Cloud Children see his fall and speak the magic words ("They either said, Fumble gralley goggle ho hee", or "Teetum waggle bari se nee", or was it "Gargle giggle fiddle num dee?") that make Albert light enough to float among the clouds, with them. Albert sleeps that night drifting in the sky. The next day, Albert and the Cloud Children have lots of fun: jumping off tall clouds, making as much noise as they can in the thunderstorm, swimming in the rain, painting pictures next to the rainbow and walking on the filmy traces left by passing aircraft. When Albert wants to go home again, the Queen arranges for his cloud to drift near his home, and for him to gently float down--but not before they all have feasted with the Man in the Moon!
This fantasy will excite children's imaginations--haven't we all wondered, when we were younger, about what was above the clouds? The Cloud Children are enchanting fairy-like characters and the illustrations are a innovative mix of photographs and drawn illustrations. Highly recommended for children from age 3 to 6. --Alison Jardine

This is an unusual and very imaginative book. I will always remember my sons eyes widening as we read about the children from cloudland and the cool cloud games they play. Really does stir up the imagination - if life like this really exists in the clouds anything is possible anywhere...

A beautiful story. It certainly gets you thinking at whatever level you reach it. A book to treasure and read at bedtime.

A lovely book, my 2 year old daughter reaaly enjoys it (every time). Burningham has a way of connecting with people of all ages; his beautiful illustrations and simple stories seem to have that special magic quality that so many others strive for in this genre. If, like me, you are new to this sort of thing, then you might enjoy the Mr Gumpy books too, also by Burningham. If you like looking at drawings then just buy them for the illustrations.
