Book Description

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No... it's a horse! Lying on the grass in the mountains, Pimpa and Armando look at the shapes of the clouds in the blue sky. The sun is shining high in the sky, and a white horse appears in the clouds. Together, the friends fly far away to a deserted island. But did it really happen, or did Armando dream it all? ́Pimpa and the Flying Horse ́ is perfect for early readers, or anyone who would like to join the friendly, red-spotted dog on a thrilling adventure! 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. 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.
