This is a perfect book for my students who love dogs. Who wouldn't love Picasso? They will love his name and the idea that a dog can go shopping. What is so sweet is the way he befriends Jo, making her loneliness and boredom disappear and giving her the strength to realize her own self-worth. Vibrant illustrations and a delightful read!

A perfect GN for dog lovers, book lovers, or anyone who wants a heartwarming story. Jo is lonely and bored one Saturday when she sees a shopping dog. A little lie gains her some friends, but it spreads quickly. Readers will enjoy Remy Lai’s latest book!

OMG! I love Pawcasso so much! An adorable story about how quickly a lie can spiral out of control. Kids are going to love this story!

Sweet kid-appropriate graphic novel about a young girl who is mistaken as the owner of a remarkable dog and ends up having to hide her lie as the pooch because a symbol of division in the town play. There is also a tender, artfully rendered subplot regarding love, loss, and risking opening your heart to people who may leave.

This was so cute! I loved everything about it! The story was great and the art was absolutely adorable! I honestly enjoyed every moment of reading this adorable comic.

3.5, rounded up. I'm not a dog person, but Pawcasso is so sweet I couldn't help but love him. The message about love and hate coming from the heart is told well, though I wish some of the aspects about Jo's dad were explored a little bit more.

Who is that mysterious spaniel that trots down the streets every Saturday with grocery lists and book requests in his basket? When Jo tries to follow him, she's assumed to be his human, and dubs him "Pawcasso" when approached at an art class. As Pawcasso's popularity with the community grows, the harder it is for Jo to keep up with the charade that he's her dog. It's harder now with a grumpy neighbor calling animal control on Pawcasso for not wearing a leash. How can Jo keep him safe if she can't find his family? Pawcasso is sweet, silly, and all too relatable to anyone who lives with (or even just knows!) a friendly, outgoing hound.
