Review
‘A lovely book, the sort that everybody should have in the car or on the kitchen windowsill’
(Daily Telegraph on THE CLOUDSPOTTER'S GUIDE )‘Read this eye-opening and amusingly written book and you will realise that beautiful as they are clouds are not just put there for decoration, they are truly awesome things.’
(Daily Mail on THE CLOUDSPOTTER'S GUIDE )Product Description
The Cloud Appreciation Society’s Manifesto states: ‘We believe that clouds are for dreamers and their contemplation benefits the soul. Indeed, all who consider the shapes they see within them will save on psychoanalysis bills.’ This is a glorious collection of clouds that look like things, including dragons, skateboarders, pasta, witches and poodles. It is a proud celebration of the carefree, aimless and endlessly life-affirming pastime of cloudspotting.

All the family enjoy this book - and show it to everyone who visits. It's a great collection of cloud photos which people around the world have snapped and interpreted - from 'dancing bear indulging in the cruel sport of duck juggling' (what are they on?) to 'the grim reaper' (uncannily precise)! It has got us all cloud watching and setting our imagination loose. We haven't started our own photo collection yet ... but it's only a matter of time.
Don't expect to learn about clouds from this book; do expect to look at the sky a whole lot more.

Perhaps short but definitely a great little book to own along with The Cloudspotter's Guide. Be amazed and amused of how our imagination run riot when it comes to clouds slowly form into something we recognise.
Get it!

HEAD IN THE CLOUDS
Great book! Forget, for a moment, the shapes, just enjoy the pictures. The fact that you can see the shapes in the clouds is a bonus.
