Pawcasso tells the story of a young girl, Jo, who happens upon an off-leash dog shopping with a basket without its owner. She follows the dog on its travels which lead to a children's art class in a bookstore called Dog Ears. When everyone mistakes Jo as the owner, she is unable and doesn't correct them. When they invite her back the next week, she sees an opportunity to make friends. As Jo later states, she “made a Chihuahua-sized lie, but it’s snowballed into a great Dane-sized lie.” Remy Lai creates a sweet story that readers of Raina Telegemeier will love. They’ll connect with the main character who has a big heart, but struggles with life’s complexities. Early on in the book, the owner of Dog Ears leads a book club and wonders, “If love comes from the heart, does hate come from the brain?” Jo is able to answer that question by the end of the book and help rival townspeople come together. The artwork is bright and expressive. Remy Lai Is especially adept at drawing Pawcasso’s movements and perspectives, including the satisfied look on the dog’s face after it has rolled in poop. A first choice pick for any elementary school library’s graphic novel section. I really enjoy Remy Lai's storytelling -- it's never quite as simple as it seems to be, and the stories are quite original. In this one, lonely, frustrated 11 YO Jo happens upon a dog who's an independent shopper and things spiral out of control. In the background, her father is often away for long periods of time, and she is sad about that. She craves friendship and finds it. She lies and finds a way to make amends. And an estranged family comes back together. Funny, friendly, full of poop and great characters. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"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?"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Bottom line: If you don’t clear up misunderstandings, they snowball into huge lies!
Also, what was Jo's dad's job??? what are you doing where you're away half the year all the time? Military? working overseas?
