Loved meeting Olga the Cloud. This delightful story is a wonderful read on so many levels. We recommend it as a cute story and enjoy looking as the well done illustrations. The beautiful message is also a welcome.

This is a very young book with simple pictures and a funny story. Good for toddlers.

The Olga books are super simple and sweet. The stories are just long enough to get a point across, but not so long that it can not be sat through by the hyperest of child. This time Olga helps a bird and a tulip remain friends.

This is a very short 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 sat quietly while listening. In these stories, Olga helps others. When a bird plops on a tulip, it is very upset. Olga rains to clean the flower. My grandson, who is older, thought that was pretty funny. From their point of view, they really liked this book.

This delightful book will have little ones giggling. (and adults too)

Olga with her sweet and generous spirit finds herself helping out once again, this time to a lovely little tulip in distress. Olga adores flowers and she is sailing happily along through the bright blue sky when she becomes aware of a poor little flower who is heartbroken on this beautiful Spring day. What possibly could be wrong to make her so upset? Olga takes it upon herself to intervene and see.

The tulip is the recipient of a birdie-plop. Yes, a splatter of plop has covered her delicate petals and she is helpless to remove it on her own. The little bird, realizing the anguish he has caused, says sorry but the soiled tulip is very angry. Oh my... her beautiful petals are befouled and she looks a mess.

It's Cloud Olga to the rescue. She knows just how to resolve this problem and turn this sad tulip's frown upside down into a wide, happy smile. Olga hovers over the little flower and gently rains a refreshing shower of water all over her. Ahhhhhh!!! The problem is solved thanks to Olga's kind heart and her willingness to help a flower feeling so forlorn.

The illustrations are vibrant, colourful, crisp and clear. Toddlers and emergence readers will love both the pictures and the simple text. It's always wonderful to review a book about kindness, reading out, and helping others in need. I highly recommend this book and the whole series.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Xist Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This short little book made me laugh!!! I give it a 4. I think children will giggle and that makes me smile.
