Book Description
for The Adventures of Polo by Regis Faller
From The United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY)
Polo, an adventurous little dog, straps on a small backpack filled with useful supplies and leaves his island tree house to see the world. Polo travels from sea to land to air, and even to the moon. When Polo gets in a tight spot (and he gets into a lot of them), he reaches into his backpack and finds just the right thing to allow him to continue safely on his adventure. Faller uses different-sized, brightly colored cartoon panels to tell this imaginative story without words. Other books in the series are Polo and the Magic Flute, Polo and Lily, Polo and the Magician!, Polo and the Dragon, Polo: The Runaway Book. 2007 USBBY Outstanding International Books List. ca
