A daring dog takes a whirlwind tour of Italyâs capital city in search of freedom in Paolo, Emperor of Rome, a 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 lifeâla dolce vitaâin 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, andâof courseâthe cats.
Readers will cheer the daring of this bighearted dog, whose story shows that even the smallest among us can achieve great things.
âBoth Keaneâs art and Barnettâs 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.â âShelf Awareness (Starred Review)
