About this listen

Young Piccolo Grande lives in his fine old family home. But one fateful afternoon his neat and ordered life is turned upside down and inside out when noisy, round and red-faced Annabelle bursts into his life. She claims to be his great aunt but Piccolo recognises her for the angel she is - a guardian angel, sent to mind Piccolo. But where Annabelle goes, disaster follows, and in two shakes of a feather it is the boy who is minding the angel.©2004 Stephen Axelsen. Produced by arrangement with Random House Australia Pty Ltd.

Critic Reviews

"Piccolo Grande's life will never be the same after Aunt Annabelle descends upon him. The chubby, noisy, and squeaky-voiced guardian angel befriends lonely Piccolo after he loses his parents. Narrator Stanley McGeagh is adorable as Piccolo, who has NEVER lied until his aunt arrives and she must show him how. McGeagh also is winning as he portrays a less imaginative and more mature Piccolo and a good-natured Aunt Annabelle. Lines like 'the boy, not a sneak by nature, snuck across the room' are enhanced by a delivery that plays up their humor. This unusual story focuses on differences in a most positive way." (AudioFile Magazine)
