Chico Bicalho Brazil Chico Bicalho was born in Rio de Janeiro and studied at an elementary school where the football field had trees throughout, because the school was against cutting them down. Later he moved to Petropolis, RJ, an area surrounded by the South Atlantic tropical rainforest. He believes in having a spiritual life, in freedom, and in peace; supports the theory that the earth is one living thing and feels that humans should understand nature, live with nature, and be equal to nature; received a BFA in sculpture from RISD and MFA in photography NYU; since 1995 has been working with a group of friends on reforestation projects replanting native South Atlantic tropical rain forest trees.
Awika was born when Bonga and Sparklz got together. She has the characteristics of both parents; the tenacious pace of Bonga, and she "does the Sparklz" as well. Awika also has glowing parts, like her uncle Svrocket. Awika is a very good climber; test her with different small objects on your desk to challenge her up and down obstacles. You can also let her climb over your hand, an open book, or, whatever else is on your desk.| Item: | Dimensions: | Weight: |

Cute I purchased several of these kikkerland wind ups for stocking stuffers. I like this one, and so does our puppy. |

Great gift idea After reading some of the other reviews, I bought it for a co-worker who used to be an engineer. He likes little gadgets and his previous has just kicked the bucket so he was happy for the replacement! |

Awika - great toy Of the three Kikkerland critters I bought, this one has the most "personality". It's a very intersting toy and works very well. Highly recommend it. I'll definitely be buying more critters. |

great fun brilliant. a source of joy for all ages, for everybody. perfect for "glued to the screen" kids (would you believe it - they walk away from screens for that!) and for those who already have everything, grandparents included. it brings out the kid in everybody. it has the sweet taste of "old-time toys", but with a smart twist! |
