Paint with Ploof is such a cute follow-up to the last Ploof book! I think it would be great for kids who are learning shapes and colors as that's a big part of the book. I think this would make an amazing birthday gift for 2-3 year olds especially with some no mess coloring supplies like crayons or color wonder markers. This is a great interactive book, which sets it apart from other titles. The book has you wave, say what color is missing, etc. It has adorable illustrations and builds understanding of colors and shapes. Definitely recommend for the little one in your life!

This book is great for toddlers! I love that the colors are calming and not overwhelming. The storyline is cute and engages the reader. I like that it has the reader point to the page and allows them to interact with the storyline. Overall, I would recommend this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Tundra Books for the ARC of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

"Paint with Ploof" is a fun, whimsical book with a simple plot about helping a cloud make a rainbow. The text consists of short, simple sentences that allow readers to interact with the story (Do a rainbow wave! Make yourself big! Take a deep breath!). The illustrations are brightly painted and easy for young eyes to focus on. This is a perfect book for t3-5 year olds to learn about colors, learning new things, and that even mistakes can have positive outcomes.

An adorable book with lovely watercolour style illustrations. I like how the book is engaging and encourages young readers to learn shapes and colour. There are also little breathing exercises and comforting words about emotions and trying things again. Will definitely recommend! 🌈☁️

Ploof the cloud is always super fun and interactive. This new book is about Ploof creating its first rainbow. Despite a few obstacles, Ploof finally makes its first rainbow and it's wonderful!

I read this to my four month old. She loved the bright colors. I love that the book teaches kids calming techniques and has a message it’s okay to mess up and try again. Loved this so much!!

A delightful, interactive picture book that explores social emotional skills. Kids will enjoy helping Ploof paint their first rainbow and relate to their feelings when things don’t go as planned. The authors incorporate a simple calming technique that kids can practice when they are feeling overwhelmed by their emotions and need a moment. There’s a good balance of text and illustrations on each page. I can see this being a great read aloud in one on one or group settings!

This book has incredibly cute, endearing illustrations, and it includes interactive elements as Ploof learns to paint his first rainbow. There's a solid story arc in addition to the little things for kids to do as they read, and the book has a great message about accepting mistakes and persevering when you're learning a new skill.

This was a really cute and fun read!
We loved it being interactive, and really showcasing some good techniques to handle emotions.

A fun educational book!

An endearing story as Ploof teaches a bit about colors and shapes while also teaching us that it’s ok to be yourself.

I am a big fan of the first Ploof and this one also hit the mark. I loved the mindfulness component which I feel will be so helpful to little ones to connect with in their own mindfulness journey. I wish the book was slightly shorter but I enjoyed the process in explanting what trying a new thing looks like.

Very interactive and cute! Could very easily be used in a storytime or classroom setting to help teach colors.

THIS.BOOK.IS.PRECIOUS!!! Perfect for the preschool and Kindergarten kids, the second book in the Ploof the cloud series covers shapes, colors, mixing colors, emotions while being so inviting to little ones. I especially love the inclusion of Clanton’s Narwhal (and caticorn) since our family are major fans. We will definitely be getting a copy of this book for our home library and our preschool’s library!

Super cute! We will definitely be adding this one to our collection and I look forward to reading this one at story times.

Aw, I love the message that Ploof is sharing with young readers. Ploof lets us know that it is okay to feel overwhelmed and to not succeed when we try something new. We also get to see Ploof keep trying and have fun with the new skill that they are trying to learn.

I loved all of the drawings that Ploof makes at the end of the book and how interactive Ben Clanton made the story.

Paint with Ploof is an adorable little picture book with interactive moments for children to act upon. The artwork is simple and lovely and conveys the message of what is happening in the story.

A great book to be read out loud, so you can instruct children to either answer the little questions or actions needed to be done.

My young children, age 4 and 7, both enjoyed it and laughed a lot at one point in the story.

A must have if you enjoy the Narwhal and Jelly series. There's a surprise appearance too!

What a lovely little story about colors, weather, and feelings. I loved the interactive element and I think any toddler would have a blast with this colorful tale.

My rating guide:
1- Hated it, don't read this
2- Not for me, you might like it
3- Very good! Add to your long list
4- Loved it, you need to read
5- NEW FAVORITE!!! READ IT NOW!

The Ploof books never disappoint! The interactive nature of this book makes it the perfect storytime or bed time read. In this installment Ploof wants to make their first rainbow. Ploof gathers the colors and teaches the audience how to mix primary colors to get secondary colors. My only complaint is that in the arc the colors are not listed in rainbow order, if it is not changed you could ask the child that you’re reading to to name the colors in order or when you get to the rainbow page you could point to the colors in order and have them list them to you. This book would be fun to read before a rainbow art program with young kids. I will be purchasing a copy for my library.

This is such. Wonderful book full of colors and imagination. This book explores first times, being ok with feeling your feelings, and imagination. It’s beautiful and has plenty of illustrations to co time dialogue with a child beyond just the text itself. What a wonderful book that tells you it’s ok to be sad sometimes and feel those things and to give space to process.

Cute book that will make any child smile.
You get to help Ploof figure out how to pain a rainbow and see the surprise at the end.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
