Kuma-Kuma Chan's Travels - 2nd Edition by Kazue Takahashi (Hardcover)

About the Book

The narrator tells of the imaginary travels of his friend, the bear Kuma-Kuma Chan.

Book Synopsis

In the third book in the Kuma-Kuma Chan series, the title character flies off to a south sea isle where he lies in the sun and drifts into a lazy snooze. He climbs to the summit of a mountain and views the sunrise while drinking a cup of hot chocolate. Instead of physically setting out for one place or another, Kuma-Kuma travels freely all over the world--inside his head. Once again, Kuma-Kuma Chan charms as he exemplifies the joy of a simple, peaceful life. With its spare text and delightful illustrations, this small-format picture book invites readers to explore their own imaginations and create their own travels.

Review Quotes

"A delightful, engaging book for a broad audience, . . . --all in an irresistibly wee package." --Kirkus Starred Review
