Follow this lovable duo as they protect their new friend Nina from the evil Signora Strega, learn what the word "mafia" means, and make some new friends along the way, all while filling their tummies with food – lots of food! In this light-hearted children's story, Charles Oakley captures our world through the eyes of man's best friend.
