Cho-Cho's Treasure Hunt (球球尋寶記)

Cho-Cho's Treasure Hunt (球球尋寶記) by Hisako Madokoro

This was originally written in Japanese. It is now in Chinese and English. Cho Cho and his friend go on a treasure hunt. A big dog remembers putting a treasure somewhere in the past they find it.

There is an audiobook CD that goes with it. It is simple and fun to read. The repeated "Bow-wows" are fun to read, though there are a few typos in the English.
