Explore the city with Piccolo as he sets off on his next adventure with six mischievous chicks in this winning companion book.

Piccolo the stylish shrew is always happy to help his animal friends. So when Mrs. Gallina asks if he can babysit her chicks, he gladly accepts. The task seems simple enough, but when Piccolo suggests they play hide-and-seek, the chicks prove to be experts at the game. Piccolo must search long and hard throughout the streets of Bella Cittá passing familiar friends as he spots the chicks’ clever hiding spots. With markets, flower stands, and picnic baskets to search, will Piccolo be able to track all six chicks down and get them home in time for their nap? This endearing story of community, kindness, and perseverance is full of playful shenanigans.
