When Frido the dog is left at home by himself, he feigns loneliness just long enough to get his owner out the door—and then the fun begins. After scootering down the hallway and somersaulting on the bed, Frido embarks on a strict agenda of all his favourite things: dressing up, chatting online, yoga, and disco-dancing with friends.

But the day goes by too quickly! Can he cover his tracks in time?

Home Alone by Barbara Nascimbeni is an engaging and whimsical story accompanied by 48 illustrations in colour.
