Praise for Paolo, Emperor of Rome

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

**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

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
