Aldo Zelnick is not an athlete like his older brother or a rock
collector like his best friend; he's just a regular kid who likes to
draw. One summer Aldo's grandma, Goosy, gives him a sketchbook in which
to record all of his ideas and adventures, and Aldo quickly discovers
how much fun cartooning is. From petitioning for a neighborhood pool
slide to his passion for slushies, Aldo illustrates his summer vacation,
wacky friends, and loving family in this charming comic novel that
blends text with illustrations on every page. Engaging and entertaining,
the story and drawings in this book will captivate both enthusiastic and
reluctant young readers. This first installment in an A-to-Z alphabet
series includes a glossary of words to help kids broaden their
vocabulary.
