Why read it?
1 author picked The Adventures of Polo as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love being in the gentle and cheery little world of Polo! Polo is a small dog who travels via ingenious visual twists of perspective and imagery. I both admire the cleverness and invention, and enjoy the cozy worlds and friends that Polo meets along the way. The Polo books are unique in being truly action-packed while also being very tranquil and peaceful.
From Barbara's list on The best wordless children’s books that also have meta, surreal, or magical realism elements.
