Sinossi
Che fareste se un bel giorno, nel taschino della vostra giacca comparisse un angioletto?
Bert è un conducente di autobus burbero e scontroso. Una mattina, apparentemente come tutte le altre, sente nel petto uno strano frullio. Sono le ali di un angelo piccino piccino, arrivato chissà come nella tasca della sua giacca. L’esserino è così irresistibile che Bert decide di portarlo a casa da sua moglie Betty. I due decidono di adottarlo e ribattezzarlo Angelino. Il mattino seguente Betty porta l’angelo nella scuola in cui lavora. Anche i bambini se ne innamorano, perché Angelino non fa altro che sorridere e… fare puzzette! Ma un esserino così speciale fa gola a molti, e il perfido K e il suo Capo tramano nell’ombra per rapirlo e venderlo al miglior offerente...
Tra peripezie avventurose e scene esilaranti, David Almond costruisce una favola surreale e poetica capace di far riflettere, tra un gioco di parole e una risata, su temi attuali come il bullismo e l’accoglienza di chi è diverso da noi.

Túto knihu som čítal kedysi strašne dávno. Ešte predtým ako vyšla, ešte neexistovali ani ilustrácie. Dal som ju na jedno posedenie, nakonci som plakal, ale nie od smútku, ale od radosti a od dojatia.
