Having dreamed of being a police officer since the time he was a tiny puff, the diaphanous hero of this sweet little picture-book is at first delighted when his friend, the police helicopter, convinces the chief to give him a job. But a series of disasters - the cloud inadvertently aids a burglar in his escape, causes a car accident, and ruins everyone's day at the park - leads to the heartbreaking realization that it is not to be.

A little cloud has always wanted to be a policeman. He goes to join the police force and tries lots of different kinds of police work, but none of them seem to be a good fit for a cloud. The cloud is so sad, he cries and it starts to rain. What kind of job can he do instead? This is a sweet story with some funny moments and cute illustrations. It went over really well with preschoolers at storytime.
