Japanese Children's Favorite Stories

Book One
Third Edition
edited by Florence Sakade, illustrated by Yoshisuke Kurosaki

Playful goblins with long noses, magic tea kettles, and a delightful brave hero who just happens to be one inch tall--these are some of the wonderful characters you'll meet this collection of the 20 best-loved Japanese children's stories. Drawn from folklore and passed down for generations, these classic tales speak of the virtues of hard work, humility, kindness, and good humor. "Once upon a time..." has never sounded so inviting.

For this new edition, each story has been lovingly revised and reset, and all the sparkling illustrations appear in color for the very first time. With so many enchanting stories to choose from, young readers will have a delightful time deciding which is their very favorite.
