Let’s Read a Story: Pip the Little Cloud

It’s story time! This is the story of Pip, a little cloud with a big wish. Read it on your own or with a grown-up.

High above a little town lived a little white cloud called Pip.

The other clouds were big and grey, and they could make rain. Pip was small and soft, and Pip could not make rain at all.

“I wish I could help the flowers,” said Pip. “They look so thirsty.”

One morning, Pip floated and floated until Pip met a big grey cloud. “Can I travel with you?” asked Pip. “Of course,” said the big cloud.

Together they drifted over the town, and soon, pitter-patter, the rain began to fall. The flowers drank and drank.

Then the sun came out and shone through the last raindrops. Something wonderful appeared across the sky: a rainbow!

“We made that together,” said Pip, smiling. And from that day on, Pip never felt too small to help.

Read the story again, out loud. When you reach the words cloud, rain, sun and rainbow, say them in your biggest, proudest voice!
