- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's a folktale about friendship with a bit of environmental message and with amazing cute illustrations. I love them and how they show the changes in old japan to new one gradually ?
The friendship here was also admirable even though there was pinch of sadness at the ending. ?
I learn something new- about ' Kappa' a Japanese mythological creature. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I thought this book was a great way to experience Japanese culture even though I'm not in Japan. (Student 11 years old.)
