About this listen
Editorial reviews
Young Piccolo has a guardian angel, but she's been a little distracted lately. Her name is Annabelle, and she's been entering every contest she can find. When Annabelle wins a party, Piccolo is in trouble - he's not the partying kind. To make matters worse, a mysterious stranger comes to this party and throws everything into disarray. A whimsical tale with delightful characters, performed with relish by talented actor Stanley McGeagh. Children will enjoy the role reversal of sensible child and absent-minded angel, and delight in McGeagh’s numerous funny voices.
Critic Reviews
"A sweet story of magic, friendship and differences ... a new series that is great for children aged 7 and up." (The Age)
"Piccolo, who has been cared for by his disorganized, chubby guardian angel, Annabelle, since his parents' mysterious disappearance, is in for another adventure in this offbeat story. Annabelle loves to enter contests, and when she wins a party, a mysterious former acquaintance named Elspeth invites herself to it, causing all sorts of trouble. Narrator Stanley McGeagh has fine pacing for this sometimes suspenseful story and creates a variety of engaging voices. His children's voices are pleasant, especially that of the anxious Piccolo, and his elderly angels' voices are downright funny – from Annabelle's wobbly falsetto to Elspeth's crooning (and sometimes hard-to-hear) whisper. Also enjoyable is the fun, though slightly sinister, merry-go-round music that plays between chapters." (AudioFile Magazine)
