Japanese Children's Favorite Stories

Florence Kurosaki (2003), 112 pages
Illustrated by Kurosaki Kurosaki
Audience: 3rd Grade - 5th Grade
Category: Classic, Folklore
This is the third edition of this classic collection first published in 1953. Here you will meet 'Peach Boy,' a one inch tall child who was found by a childless couple as he floated down the river inside the stone of a peach. Also meet the kind man and his foolish wife, who each get what they deserve from the 'Tongue-Cut Sparrow.' These and the other stories in the collection have bright new illustrations to bring them to life.
