In this graphic novel-style book for young readers, Paolo—an always-on-alert sheepdog—moves to the Blue Forest and must learn to get along with his new neighbors and adjust to a more relaxed lifestyle. 

After years of hard work, Paolo the sheepdog is certainly entitled to a happy retirement. But when he moves to the Blue Forest, the new, slower lifestyle is difficult to get used to! It was Paolo’s responsibility to lead, take care of, and supervise, and he is struggling to give up certain habits and behaviors. However, the forest residents are not taking well to being told what to do, and they certainly don’t need that much order in the forest. Evo, the Blue Forest's troublemaker, is not helping matters either when he helps Paolo with a scheme that puts everyone in danger. Can Bitmax and his friends save the forest creatures and ultimately help Paolo embrace a more relaxed lifestyle where everyone helps each other?

From the bestselling author and illustrator team of Copons & Fortuny, Paolo, the Sheepdog is the fourth book in the Bitmax & Co. series. Filled with adventure and comedy, each title in the Bitmax & Co. series clearly focuses on a single conflict, placing young readers in the heart of the classic narrative structure that presents a conflict, develops it, and solves it. The series offers a fun approach to addressing important themes about friendship, empathy, respect, working together, diversity, resolving conflicts, and living in harmony with nature.
