It Looked Like Spilt Milk

It Looked Like Spilt Milk is an American children's picture book, written and illustrated by Charles Green Shaw.

Originally published in 1947, the illustrations are a series of changing white shapes against a blue background.

Before the shape changes, what it really looked like was milk that had been spilled out of a glass and ended up all over the table.)

First the shape looked like spilt milk, then a rabbit, a bird, a pig, a sheep, a birthday cake, a tree, an ice cream cone, a flower, an angel, a squirrel, a mitten, and finally a great horned owl.

The last page becomes the blue sky and the white silhouette shape which turned into a cloud.
