A daring dog takes a whirlwind tour of Rome in search of freedom in new picture book from beloved storyteller Mac Barnett and masterful illustrator Claire Keane

Paolo the dachshund is trapped. Though he lives in Rome, a city filled with history and adventure, he is confined to a hair salon. Paolo dreams of the sweet life―la dolce vita―in the Eternal City. And then, one day, he escapes! Paolo throws himself into the city, finding adventure at every turn. Join our hero as he discovers the wonders of Rome: the ruins, the food, the art, the opera, and―of course―the cats. Readers will cheer the daring of this bighearted dog, whose story shows that even the smallest among us can achieve great things.

Review

**STARRED REVIEW**.
"Both Keane's art and Barnett's plucky hero give the big city of Rome an exciting and inviting feel, making it a delightful adventure for readers and travelers of all ages."-- "Shelf Awareness"

"Joyful...Claire Keane's illustrations evoke the noise and vitality of Rome at its most rewarding. [A] charmer."-- "Wall Street Journal"

**STARRED REVIEW**
"Bighearted tale that champions honor for honor's sake."-- "Publishers Weekly"

"Barnett's theatrical narrator works in tandem with the hilariously pompous pooch to carry this rib-tickling romp with infectious bravado. . .The beautifully textured architecture and action sequences harken back to classic picture-books artists. Molto bene!"-- "Kirkus Reviews"

"In a single day, Paolo wins over the dogs of Rome, its people, and the pope; he'll just as easily endear himself to readers." -- "School Library Journal"

"Readers will be endeared to Paolo instantly, with his lust for life and pluckiness in the face of adversity. Barnett's text is simple but imbued with a sense of dramatic beauty and humor. Keane's illustrations recall gorgeous pastel crayons swept across the page, capturing the elegance of Rome and the charm of the adorable pooch at the heart of the story."-- "Booklist"

Beautifully illustrated!

Reviewed in Canada on 22 February 2021

I am a proud dachshund owner so I was naturally drawn to this book. The illustrations are so beautifully done and fun for both kids and adults. I loved the Rome concept, as I've previously travelled to Rome before. A lot of the details in the book actually took me back (like the cats in the runes). I was kinda hoping Paolo would've found a new owner that enjoyed travelling or give him the attention he deserved at the end. It was left up in the air. But overall it was well done!

super beau livre

c'est un super beau livre en anglais avec beaucoup des paysages de rome. il n'y a pas une lecon à apprendre dans ce livre, peut etre "sois confident" mais l'histoire est bien amusant pour un enfant / a gorgeous book with amazing illustrations of rome's most well known sights. there isn't too much of a moral in the story, except that it is good to be confident in yourself but the story is very cute and entertaining

My 7 yr old loves this book. I love that he wants to read it himself. The story is endearing. My son says his favorite thing is that he believes Paolo is striving to live his best life and not settle for nos. He looks for opportunity
and doesn't let things get in his way.
How can I not love that? This book is a winner in our home.
