Konnichiwa. I got this book when I was 6. I think this is one of the best picture books on the entire earth! It really sparked my interest in the Japanese culture. Now I am 12 and am immensely interested in the Japanese language and culture still. I highly encourage you to buy this book. I love it soooo much!!! Domo Arigato Gozaimasu.
Wonderful and enjoyable!

This is a wonderful book with a good message about the value of inner strength as opposed to external size. The pictures are great and the rhyme scheme throughout the story adds a lot. My 2nd grade students want me to read it again and again!
