Listen and read along with the story.

Ethan looked down from the purple cloud. From up here in the sky, everything on the ground seemed small. The houses and cars looked like tiny toys. The trees looked like little green dots.

Ethan jumped up and down, laughing. The fluffy cloud felt softer than his bed. It was sticky, too. There were pieces of cloud on his shoes and on his legs!

key idea

When you read a story, think about how the words and pictures work together. Both can tell you about the story's setting and its main character.

The setting is where and when a story happens. For example, a story could happen at school in the morning or at a park in the winter.

The main character is the most important person, animal, or thing in a story. For example, Peter Rabbit and Cinderella are the main characters in their stories.
