The When the Clouds Rolled In storybook, with the four Detour Club friends on its cover

Read-Alongs on YouTube

Our read-along series follows The Detour Club: four friends, big imaginations, and adventures that never go quite as planned. It starts with When the Clouds Rolled In, the story of how their friendship began.

When to Use Them

  • Rainy days and quiet time. Print a small stack before the weather turns, and there’s something ready when everyone needs a calmer hour.
  • Long drives and waiting rooms. A few pages and a box of crayons fit in any bag, and they work just as well at a restaurant table as at home.
  • Watch, then color. Put on a read-along, then pull out the coloring pages afterward. Kids often want to draw the story they just heard.
  • Classrooms and libraries. Teachers and librarians are welcome to print copies for story time, centers, or a quiet activity at the end of the day.
