Description

"Move over, Jeff Kinney . . . Lai’s finger is always precisely on the pulse of kid humor." ―Horn Book "It's tail-wagging entertaining!" ―Kelly Yang, New York Times bestselling author of Front Desk A heartwarming and hilarious middle- grade graphic novel about the unexpected friendship between the loneliest girl in class and the coolest canine in town. Every Saturday, Pawcasso trots into town with a basket, a shopping list, and cash in paw to buy groceries for his family. One day, he passes eleven-year-old Jo, peering out the window of her house, bored and lonely. Astonished by the sight of an adorable basket-toting dog on his own, Jo follows Pawcasso, and when she’s seen alongside him by a group of kids from her school, they mistake her for Pawcasso’s owner. Excited to make new friends, Jo reluctantly hides the truth and agrees to let “her” dog model for an art class the kids attend. What could go wrong? But what starts as a Chihuahua-sized lie quickly grows Great Dane-sized when animal control receives complaints about a dog roaming the streets off-leash. With Pawcasso’s freedom at stake, is Jo willing to spill the truth and risk her new friendships? "A beautifully drawn and delightful story bursting with art, books, and fun!" ―Maria Scrivan, New York Times bestselling author of Nat Enough and Forget Me Nat Read more

    • Adorable!
Format: Paperback
Admit it, we've all had that moment where we wanted something that belonged to someone else, even ... their dog. This is a lovely story about friendship, belonging, and the awesome power of pets. Plus, as a graphic novel, it'll be in high demand in your classroom or library.

    • Light hearted but with a message
Format: Paperback
This looks like a lighthearted book, with all the bright colors and all. That is what draws you in. But there is sadness, because Jo's father can only visit every few months, and then, after a week, he leaves again. It is a bit like having him die over and over, and Jo has just given up caring. And then she meets a dog, who goes out with a shopping basket, and goes from store to store picking up things for its owner. And everyone loves the dog, and the owner isnt' around, so what is wrong with pretending to be the owner. And suddenly, everyone loves Jo too. But lies can backfire. Great book. Loved the whole story. Well presented. Fun seeing how Jo finds out Pawcasso's ower, and how she deals with it all. ... show more

    • Heartfelt middle grade graphic novel about a cute doggo
Format: Hardcover
How to even say how much I enjoyed this book? First of all, my daughter is a reluctant reader, so trying to find something that catches her attention is a challenge at the best of times. It’s hard to go wrong with dog books, though. My daughter and I read this together, and she read the entire thing to me (normally we need to alternate pages) and talked about the pictures and some of the things going on. Pawcasso is a book about a dog, of course, but it’s really so much more than that, and I appreciated the complexities of the book. I’m not sure my daughter really cared as much, but at least I know she still got things out of it, since we had a nice discussion about it! The main character, Jo, is extremely relatable. What she really wants, more than anything, is a dog . . . and maybe a few friends? She struggles with making friends, with siblings that she doesn’t always get along with, and with the fact that her father is often away on business. At the heart of the story, of course, is a dog named Pawcasso, who’s really quite a character in and of himself. Pawcasso attracts attention because he travels into town with a basket with money and a shopping list. No one knows where he comes from, but he’s a regular, once a week. Some people love Pawcasso. Others are concerned about a dog wandering around off a leash with no owner. This really divides the town and sparks a discussion about leash laws and dog ownership and how to handle (or, sometimes, how to not handle) disagreements with your neighbors. Pawcasso is definitely funny, with all sorts of quirky characters. Jo herself can be funny, and Pawcasso certainly, especially his penchant for rolling in poop. All the characters are memorable, though, and there’s more to them than they seem. Even Jo’s sister, Tina, who comes through in some touching sibling bond moments. Even the cranky old man that lives across the street from the dog groomer and seems to hate dogs with a passion. Lai does a marvelous job of weaving deeper backstories into each character. Pawcasso can be serious, too, though, and I was surprised by how hard it hit me in the feels. I was expecting a feel-good story about a dog, but this book is so much more than that! Yes, that’s also part of it, but it sends a wonderful message at the same time while hitting all the right feels. It’s a book that kids will enjoy and that parents won’t mind reading together. It’s got a little bit of something for everyone. This is also a book I’d definitely recommend for teachers and librarians. It’d be a great addition to any library or classroom. In my library’s case, at least, graphic novels are really gaining in popularity, so that’s always a win. Not only does it have colorful, easy-to-follow artwork, but it sends a message that’s really important for kids about how to disagree the right way and that there are two sides to every argument. Sometimes you have to stop and take a moment to consider someone else’s perspective. My daughter's thoughts: I gave this book five stars because I really like dogs and books about dogs, and I liked the dog Pawcasso. I think it was cool how Pawcasso would go around town getting things for his owner. There was an art club in the book, which I really liked because I love art. I learned some things, too. Five things she enjoyed: - Pawcasso could get things for his owner by himself by going into town with a picnic basket, a list, and some money. - Pawcasso went to an art club, where the children made art of him. There’s painting, too, and I love to paint! - Most people in the town knew Pawcasso, but some didn’t, and it caused a problem. - Pawcasso is really cute and funny, just like my dogs! - You shouldn’t lie that a dog is yours just to get attention (but I would still want the dog!). ... show more

    • Wonderful middle grade illustrated book
Format: Paperback
Pawcasso is a wonderfully written and adorably illustrated middle grade book by Remy Lai. Those middle grades are some of the most awkward and uncomfortable years, aren't they? Well, they are for main character Jo too. Her dad travels a lot, she doesn't have friends, and she just feels like she doesn't fit...until she runs into Pawcasso. Through Pawcasso, she makes friends, but just about everything they know about Jo is a big fib! She didn't start out to tell a lie, but assumptions not corrected often snowball into the biggest of lies. And that leads to big problems! I absolutely adored the characters in Pawcasso. They're a diverse group of characters from Jo's little brothers up to cranky, elderly neighbors. There is a lot going on in this book that your kids are bound to relate to some of it. It's a heartwarming story with themes like community, family, friendship, and honesty. I definitely recommend that you get this one for your kids! They'll love how the illustrations bring even more life to this delightful story. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this no-obligation copy. ... show more
