I liked Olga the Cloud and the Snowman. It was a book full of colorful illustrations, and told a good story. I can see kids reading this book and really enjoying it. It is a great starter book to get them interested in reading.

Cute book for its intended toddler audience. The image are bright and simple. The color contrast will appeal to that age group. The story is simple enough to follow with the snowman melting in the sun and needing snow to cool and survive. The book is an interesting way to introduce a few new words and the concepts of hot and cold.

This delightful little book is short and sweet. Some children build an adorable snowman named Nico during the day and when it's evening they leave him by himself as they must go inside. Snowman gets very lonely outside all by himself and that's when Olga the cloud comes to his rescue.

All through the night she keeps him company. They play and have a great time together. In the morning the sun rises and shines on Nico making him all warm and sweaty. Can his new friend Olga save him from melting away and help cool him down?

The vibrant coloured illustrations are crisp and full of expression and heart. Toddlers and beginning readers will navigate through the book enjoying both the pictures and the story. This book is part of the "Olga the Cloud Series". Each short story stars Olga in every day simple scenarios that children can relate to and enjoy.

They were originally published in Italian and are now brought to English audiences in ebook editions buy Xist Publishing. They bring beloved stories from diverse cultures to new audiences and they celebrate childhood in all its beautiful forms. The publishers hope that children will enjoy these stories and discover a lifetime love of reading and love for all the people and creatures of the world. A very worthwhile and noble mission indeed. I highly recommend this book.

I would barely call this a story. It was most of a paragraph. It was a cute story idea (that reminded me of Olaf from Frozen) but it was over before it even began.

I recieved an ARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a very short book (9 pages) but it will be ideal for babies and young toddlers to teach them about day and night, hot and cold and it has some really images too.

This is a very short (9 pgs.) book for toddlers. It has short sentences and large bright pictures. As the blurb says, "Each short story features the charming cloud in simple situations, perfect for teaching babies and toddlers." I thought the pictures were cute and would attract the attention of little ones. My granddaughter liked the pictures and let me read the story which she often does not do.

A big thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I am not an expert by any means but I was disappointed by this little book. It is literally 4 pages long The rest of the 12 pages are ads for other books. The blurb says more than the book. I think there are 12 sentences. The artwork is cute and the story is cute. Just not much. I rate this a 2.5.
