It Looked Like Spilt Milk《看上去像打翻了的牛奶》的主角是千变万化的云。全书没有过多的装饰，只有蓝底配上留白的图，就是蓝天白云的写照。全文以“Sometimes it looked like Spilt Milk. But it wasn’t Spilt Milk.”这两个句型贯穿全书，简单好读。简单的外形和纯白色的图案，比一般具象的插图更可以引发孩子们的想象力。

阅读窍门：         
1. 结合绘本进行词汇学习（如spilt milk,rabbit, ice cream cone）及句型学习;          
2. 用棉花在蓝色卡纸上摆出不同形状，并说出对应句子；         
3. 用白色颜料在蓝色卡纸上随意作画，家长和孩子一起讨论像什么，模仿书中句型进行造句；
4. 本书可以和Eric Carle的Little Cloud《一片小云儿》来看。

趣味细节：         
1. 书中每一页的白色形状都像是某一个具体事物的影子，但又不局限于该事物，可充分发挥想象
2. 书的封面已经把书中出现的形状都巧妙地罗列出来了
3. 每一页的形状边缘都有液体泼溅的效果（确实很像打翻的牛奶）
A beautiful and engaging classic that inspires creativity and imagination
The white shape silhouetted against a blue background changes on every page. Is it a rabbit, a bird, an ice-cream cone, or just spilt milk? In this childhood classic, kids are kept guessing until the surprise ending, and they’re encouraged to improvise similar games of their own. This board book features sturdy pages and is just the right fit for small hands. This classic was one of the first books to introduce nonrepresentational art to children.

Review
“Inimitable. Represents one of the finest picture-book examples of abstract art and participatory text. It is a renowned American classic that continues to engage young readers with its absolute graphic strength and verbal dialogue between craftsman and child.”  — Children’s Book and Their Creators

有时它看起来像泼洒出来的牛奶，但奇怪的是，它并不是牛奶。有时它看起来又像小鸟、冰
淇淋、生日蛋糕，甚至是朵美丽的花儿，但这些却都不是它真实的身份。这是一本充满想象
力、观察力的绘本，让我们一起来发掘这神秘客的真实身份吧！

Charles Shaw was discovered and nurtured by Margaret Wise Brown, his first editor.It Looked Like Spilt Milk was introduced at the same time as Browns ownGoodnight Moon andThe Growing Tree from Ruth Krauss—three books that helped form the foundation of picture-book literature and continue to stand the test of time.
