Bob veut un animal de compagnie pour son anniversaire. Il s'attend ? recevoir un chien, un chat ou m?me un hamster mais voil? qu'il se retrouve avec un fant?me qui n'aime ni jouer ni aller en promenade. Bob n?glige un peu son nouveau compagnon et sans rien d'autre ? faire pour s'occuper, ce dernier se met ? avaler tout sur son passage, Bob inclus! Bob et son fant?me sauront-ils trouver un terrain d'entente?
Bob really wants a pet for his birthday... a dog, a cat or even a gerbil. But instead, Bob gets a ghost. So he names him Fluffy. Fluffy can't sit, fetch or go for a walk like he wants him to. And with nothing to do, Fluffy gets quite bored - and hungry. So hungry that he eats everything in his path including Bob! Can Bob and Fluffy make amends? Award-winning author-illustrator Genevi?ve C?t?'s charming illustrations colourfully portray Bob and Fluffy's search for commonalities to show young readers the value of friendship.
Original title: Bob's Hungry Ghost
