It Looked Like Spilt Milk

A white shape drifts across page after page of blue sky, looking like a rabbit, a bird, an ice-cream cone, and more — until a final reveal answers what it really is.

For the kid who sees dragons in clouds and faces in ceiling tiles, this book turns that habit into the whole point of the story.
