Shelf Awareness
âJoyfulâŚClaire Keaneâs illustrations evoke the noise and vitality of Rome at its most rewarding. [A] charmer.â
Wall Street Journal
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; heâll 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. Barnettâs text is simple but imbued with a sense of dramatic beauty and humor. Keaneâs 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.
