Kumla Bibliotek

When a mother hen’s eggs hatch, something is not what it seems like... there’s a duckling among the chicks!

Grab your nearest buddy and join Pimpa on yet another adventure, when she tries to help Andy the duckling find his mum. But it will not be easy, as the ducks have already left for Africa.

Luckily, the red-spotted dog finds a kind cloud, who gives Pimpa and her new friend a ride. Thanks to the cloud, Andy the duckling is one step closer to being reunited with his family!

A tale with a premise similar to that of Hans Christian Andersen's ´The Ugly Duckling´, ´Pimpa and Andy the Duckling´ is perfect for early readers, or anyone who is simply longing for an exciting adventure!

Cartoonist Francesco Tullio Altan created Pimpa as a present for his daughter in 1975. Since then, more than 150 stories featuring Pimpa have been published, selling more than 6.5 million copies.

Pimpa has also been the star of several successful TV adaptations produced by the major Italian broadcaster RAI.

Now Pimpa is ready to be a loyal companion to a new generation. The books are perfect for both young children and their older siblings, and her stories can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Pimpa is a cheerful, red-spotted dog. Accompanied by her friend and owner Armando, a man with an impressive moustache and a bowler hat, the two embark on colourful and touching adventures together. Every story features a world of new friends, imagination and curiosity.
