Bob's Hungry Ghost by Genevieve Cote

It all started because Bob wanted a dog for his birthday.  He got a ghost instead...

Tundra Books and Net Galley allowed me to read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published September 9th and would make a great Halloween gift for a young one.

This picture book is cute.  Bob names his ghost Fluffy and then he tries to teach it dog tricks.  You know, like fetch, sit, or go for walks.  No go.  One thing Fluffy does have in common with dogs is that the ghost loves to eat!  Unfortunately, once he starts, he's not willing to stop until he's eaten everything.  He even eats Bob. But Fluffy never expected to feel lonely...

Don't worry, the story ends well.  Bob and Fluffy do live happily ever after.  Written in a light hearted and silly way, this story will make you chuckle and will quickly become a favorite of your young ones.
