The Cloud Spinner by Michael Catchpool

One small boy has a special gift—he can weave cloth from the clouds: gold in the early morning with the rising sun, white in the afternoon, and crimson in the evening. He spins just enough cloth for a warm scarf. But when the king sees the boy's magnificent cloth, he demands cloaks and gowns galore. "It would not be wise," the boy protests. "Your majesty does not need them!" But spin he must—and soon the world around him begins to change.

From author Michael Catchpool and illustrator Alison Jay comes a magical tale about the beauty and fragility of our natural world, and the wisdom and courage needed to protect it.

Here is another title by the same author - fun!

Where There's a Bear, There's Trouble 

When one brown bear decides to follow one yellow bee to his honey, he is followed by two greedy geese, who in turn are followed by three shy mice. When the bee reaches the hive he is joined by one hundred yellow bees, who chase the one brown bear, followed by the two greedy geese, and the three shy mice in this rhythmic story filled with humor and TROUBLE!
