"Piccolo and Annabelle are unlikely companions whose exploits ... are bound to delight."
Magpies Magazine
Join Piccolo and Annabelle on their next magical adventure.
Piccolo Grande's ordered life has been turned upside down by his competition-crazy Guardian Angel. His fine old house has become an obstacle course of prizes that Great Aunt Annabelle has been winning at an alarming rate. Enough is enough! Piccolo devises a plan to give away, sell or bank all the prizes. But little does he know that Annabelle's latest windfall - a bright pink motor scooter and sidecar - is about to lead them into a gangload of trouble with a very wicked twist.
"Piccolo and Annabelle, opposites to the extreme, return in another wildly funny escapade. Piccolo is an orderly, respectful boy while his guardian angel, Annabelle, is compulsive and irreverent. Narrator Stanley McGeagh captures the pair's age and personality differences with accuracy and charm. Trouble begins when Annabelle wins a motorcycle and takes up with Heaven's Angels, who are stinky cheese-eating gypsies. McGeagh creates accents and tough guys, makes impressive motorcycle 'vrooms' and takes full advantage of Axelsen's splendid wordplay. Whimsical music adds to the charm. This is good entertainment as well as a demonstration that different types can complement each other perfectly."
