Aldo: Ghost Dog

Beschreibung

"A curious confection for audiences open to absurdism"--Kirkus Reviews Aldo: Ghost Dog brims with humor on every page, as each illustration offers a delightfully ironic counterpoint to the narrative of Aldo discovering the joys and difficulties of his new life as a ghost dog. With this newfound identity, Aldo can now steal food in the park unseen, has learned to fly, and is happy ... almost all the time. There are some things, however, that he finds hard to let go of, like a secret love, which was indeed very special. Will they ever meet again? Aldo's cheerful personality and optimism carry the dog and the reader through the adventures--and misadventures--that await us every day.
