Oldie but goodie

Got this book for my children and also my niece. Remembered it from a long time ago. Encourages use of imagination.

It Looked Like Spilt Milk

I'm a new elementary educator, and I found this book very useful for promoting creativity in the classroom. Not only is it a good book to read before introducing a unit on clouds and weather, but also it can be used to increase artistic expression. You will not be disappointed with this title.

good for either ESL class or music class

Since the text follows a simple pattern, the book is good for teaching English as a foreign language. Here in Korea, I have had students ask me to read it again.

It is also good for a lesson on spoken intonation. The children enjoy playing the xylophone on C-E-A-G-G-G while I read "but it wasn't spilt milk."

Use Your Imagination.

What exactly is the "it" in this story? That's what the author leaves the reader to discover as you flip through the pages of this intriguing little book. White pictures and font set against sky blue pages set up this childhood guessing game. Sometimes it looked like spilt milk, but it wasn't spilt milk. Sometimes it looked like a birthday cake or a squirrel or a tree and so on and so forth. The book provides an excellent introduction for preschool/kindergarten lessons on clouds or as the pre-model activity for some other creative exercise. Personally, I just like flipping through the book looking at the white on the blue, it's so calming and peaceful. Anyway, a very useful book to use teaching young children that they will enjoy having read to them.

Exactly what we needed

My autistic son is terrified of spilling milk. When I saw this title, we had to have it! Now when he spills, he tries to guess what the spills look like. Much better than a screaming meltdown! One strange thing- there are two places where the cloud "looks like spilled milk." Why twice? Very odd.
