Greta wants to have a pet more than anything in the world. There’s only one problem… She’s allergic to animals...

Greta is allergic to animals so she decides to have a cloud as a pet. She even puts a collar on it to take it for a walk! Having a pet cloud has many advantages, like helping neighbors water their gardens or putting out fires... But not all Greta’s neighbors are happy with her choice of pet… Some are fed up with having their barbecues ruined and always having to take umbrellas with them in case they meet Greta and her cloud. The town is divided. Will they find a way to come to an agreement?

Greta has always wanted a pet but is allergic to everything. She delights when a cloud becomes her pet. Through this fantastical romp, we see how useful a cloud is, but also how some people do not enjoy rainy clouds. The illustrations are detailed and enhance the colorful story the author weaves. Even when the cloud becomes too small to remain, it still leaves something behind for Greta to remember their time together. This book reminds me of My Friend, Loonie by Nina LaCour. I can see both stories being fun fantasies for children who also can’t have pets. It could also be a primer before a child gets a pet to understand that eventually, all pets go away.
