Aldo: Ghost Dog
by Joaquín Camp, translated by Kit Maude
One day while playing catch, Aldo the dog gets caught in a white sheet hanging from the clothesline. Believing himself to now be a ghost, Aldo isn't too bothered at first. After all, there are some perks, like being able to steal food invisibly (or so he thinks). The whimsical illustrations by Argentinian author and illustrator Joaquín Camp hilariously juxtapose Aldo's narration with the reality of his situation. Will Aldo ever get to reunite with his beloved red ball or is he doomed to "booo!" instead of "woof!" forever?
