Today I’m floating on cloud nine as I’ve a guest post over at one of the very best blogs I know – The Crafty Crow. I’m reviewing an incredibly beautiful French picture book (in English translation): Journey on a Cloud by Veronique Massenot and Elise Mansot. Do head on over to read what I have to say about this very special book and what it inspired me and my girls to get up to. Then come back here for some more fun activities you could get up to alongside Journey on a Cloud.
Here’s some fun music to go with Journey on a Cloud:
Clouds by Dog on Fleas
Cloudbusting by Neil Halstead (or the Kate Bush version if you prefer)
Cloud Shape Animals by Harley String Band
In the Clouds by Laurie Berkner
Painting By Chagall by The Weepies

Apart from what we got up to (which you can read about with our review over at The Crafty Crow), here are some other projects that would be great to do alongside reading Journey on a Cloud:
Make your own cloud – some great science projects here including this one on You Tube and this one from Steve Spangler.
Create some Chagall inspired art with inspiration from Art Lessons for Kids.
Pablo Picasso remarked during the 1950s, “Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is”, so this book is a great opportunity to lay with different shades of colour – I love this simple, beautiful stacking game made from paint charts, created by kedublock, found via

Funny, it reminds me of The Yellow Balloon, which you recently reviewed, which reminded me of Umbrella by the Schuberts and reminded others of Anno’s Journey. Seems this is a popular theme. How would you say they are each different? Style of illustrations? This one has text and Yellow Balloon and Umbrella are wordless, right?

That book looks beautiful. When I was teaching, I did some dream-inspired surrealist collages with my class using found images in magazines- they were wonderful.

It looks gorgious. I put it in my coming book basket. We are Chagall fans at home….
It’s funny because I have never seen anything from this duo in the book shops I go. The editor does not seem very well distributed and it’s a pity….
The hokusai wave based story looks very nice to (http://correspondances.hautetfort.com/archive/2010/03/16/la-grande-vague.html).
Thanks a lot Zoe !
