A young boy is on cloud nine when he finds the perfect pet, but he is quickly brought down to earth. . . This fantastical take on the child-pet bond is sweet…--Kirkus Reviews
Max wants a pet, and a pet cloud seems way better than a cat, dog, or fish. A cloud is clean, quiet, and doesn't shed. How hard could it be to take care of a puffy cloud? Author Amanda Rawson Hill subtly blends lessons on responsibility, problem-solving, and friendship with lots of humor for a unique approach to the typical pet story. The added science element provides the perfect combination of learning and fun in a picture book illustrated by Laia Arriols.
