Sometimes friendships can be formed during the most unlikely circumstances!

It’s blowing a gale outside, and a little blue snail can’t find her way in the storm. When her house breaks, she doesn’t know what to do, but luckily Pimpa is always happy to help!

So grab your nearest magnifying glass, put on your detective hat, and join Pimpa, Pedro the spider, and Sophie the snail in helping Sally collect the missing pieces.

A tale of friendship and mystery, ´Pimpa and the Blue Snail´ is perfect for early readers, or anyone who would like to join the famous, red-spotted dog on a thrilling 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.
