Booklist - 05/01/2022 The Fan Brothers once again bring soft, detailed whimsy to young readers, this time in the story of Lizzy, a curly-haired girl who becomes the proud owner of a cloud. During a walk in the park, Lizzy visits the cloud vendor, who sells his wares like balloons. While the clouds come in many shapes—mainly fluffy animals—Lizzie opts for a regular puff, taking its string and new owner’s manual in hand. The girl follows the care instructions carefully, watering the cloud (which she names Milo) and taking it for walks, but as Milo grows it becomes discontent and, on one occasion, thunderous. It’s bittersweet when Lizzie realizes that an apartment is no place for a cloud and releases it. The Fan Brothers give an original tweak to the too-big-pet story line, often seen with dinosaurs, that will charm readers of all ages. The limited use of color—buttery yellow, cornflower blue, sherbet green—lends extra magic to the finely lined pencil drawings, especially where a faint rainbow glistens in the cloud’s mist. A sweet, imaginative tale. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
