Sora and the Cloud

I learnt of Totoro, benign wood spirits through the book's description. In elementary school, I used to think that thick bright white clouds were cotton. Sora goes one up with cotton candy.
Its funny how on earth, we fantasize about clouds, but Sora's experience shows that many things that we do on earth like playing in puddles, grass, sand are taken for granted.
The pictures on each page are soft and inviting. Finf the Ferris wheel which has clouds as seats.
In the end there is a list of Japanese cultural tidbits found on the pages.
Another creative aspect in the pictures is the recurrence of Sora showing next action as well.
