Aldo: Ghost Dog
Kit Maude
(Translated by)
Description
"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.

About the Author
Reviews
“When Aldo, a shaggy gray dog with an imperious air, discovers that he has transformed into a ghost, he commits to his new life with the zeal of a method actor. As an invisible ghost, he steals food from picnickers in the park and swaps his bark for a 'boo.' Readers ages 4 to 8 will quickly catch on to the joke, which the author and illustrator Joaquín Camp unspools with wry humor in Aldo: Ghost Dog, translated from the Spanish by Kit Maude … Aldo’s conviction in his paranormal abilities is delivered with such charming aloofness, it’s more fun to set logic aside … With Aldo: Ghost Dog, Mr. Camp has created a character to amuse adult and young readers alike …” —The Wall Street Journal
