Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of....well, except for this little girl. Take a liberal dose of smarts, stir in a cup of spunk, a heaping spoonful of independence, a whole lot of attitude and you get... KIKO: An adult mind in a five year old's body. She cooks, she cleans, she does the shopping, she operates complex machinery, she sculpts works of art, she's a Bonsai master- basically, she can do it all. The only problem is she still gets treated like a kid. And, boy, does it bug her! Kiko befuddles her father, mystifies her mother and terrifies her teacher. Other adults that Kiko meets consistently underestimate her, at their peril. Sure, she has friends her own age, but everyone knows that she's clearly in a league of her own. Even her nervous cat senses it.
