Description

Ciao! Enter the endearing world of Piccolo, a problem-solver whose optimism, boundless enthusiasm, and love of gelato inspires his animal friend community.

Piccolo the stylish shrew is a list maker. On his list are all the favorite places he is eager to visit. As his day begins he runs into his pal Mr. Rosso who needs help carrying his artwork to the museum. Piccolo can't believe his luck: the museum is on his list of favorite places! In no time at all, Piccolo is helping all his friends solve problems as he zips around the city on his scooter. But with so many ways to lend a hand, Piccolo might not have time to visit the one place on his list he loves the most.

Full of adventure, culture, and some tasty hazelnut gelato, this endearing tale of friendship and teamwork proves that helping others is the most powerful triumph of all.
