On a visit to Rome for just one day, Grandma Goldie is eager to show her grandson, Danny, all the sights. But when Danny’s puppy, Cappuccino, dashes off across the piazza with some chirpy birds, their plans change in a hurry! Will this peppy pair find their playful pup before the sun sets on their dizzy day? Find out in this charmingly illustrated rhyming tale about the Eternal City ​. . . and happy surprises. An illustrated Italian-English glossary is included!​

“[T]he rhyming pace keeps the story moving forward by providing palpable energy to this exciting international tale of art, culture, language, food, fun, family — and dog-chasing. Bellissimo!”

—THE CHILDREN’S BOOK REVIEW, TREVOR LAURENCE JOCKIMS

"I especially appreciated the glossary and pronunciation guide of Italian words and phrases that precedes the story, and was impressed with how naturally those words and phrases were incorporated into the story. Rome Romp! is sure to fire up the imaginations of young readers as they follow the chase through Rome and see all the sights this historic city has to offer."
