Over a month ago I met with a friend to help her select books for a literature classe she was teaching. She introduced me to this gem!
Paolo resides (is imprisoned) in a hair salon. He longs to escape and explore the wonders of Rome. Finally, one day the door is left open, unnoticed by his owner. Freedom! With eagerness, he explodes out onto the streets, discovering the ancient and new treasures of Rome. When he rescues nuns, his future as a free dog in Rome is secure.
Paolo leads readers around Rome, reinforcing its history and culture. The richness of the book will be enjoyed only if readers linger, ask questions, and make connections.
**Highly, highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
