MUSEYON BOOKS Smart City Guides for Travel, History, Art and Film Lovers
By Kazue Takahashi
This cute book is the second title in the series of the beloved children’s books, Kuma-Kuma Chan, The Little Bear.
When a boy receives an invitation in the mail from Kuma-Kuma Chan, his friend who happens to be a bear, he travels by train, bus, and foot to reach Kuma-Kuma Chan’s home. His friend welcomes him with ‘bear tea’, serves rice crackers and at the end of the day, a delicious salmon dinner.
The two don’t have a lot to talk about, but they spend the day sharing activities, eating delicious food, and experiencing the sense of belonging that comes from being with a good friend. When the boy leaves to catch the last bus home, both friends are enriched by the visit and look forward to the next one.
Kuma-Kuma Chan’s Home once again immerses children of all ages, as well as adults, in Kuma-Kuma Chan’s peaceful, simple world, which will be sure to leave a smile on your face after the last page.
