One puddle really caught his attention and he reached down and opened it up-just like you would a manhole in the road. He could see the pink sky and the white clouds reflected in the water. One part I really liked was when Sato was peering into large puddles on the ground after a rainfall. For example, white laundry hanging on the clothesline against a backdrop of long green grass eventually changes from billowing laundry to clouds floating in the sky, as the grass color changes from green to sky blue. It is fun to see how one scene morphs into another and creates special adventures for this little rabbit. Each story features a little boy named Sato, who is now a rabbit, and his adventures in nature. There are seven little stories in this book entitled “A Tiny Pond”, “A Sea of Grass”, “A Night of Stars”, “Watermelon”, “A Window to the Sky”, “Walnuts”, and “Forest Ice”. Then I realized that there are aspects of it that remind me a lot of Goodnight Moon, and then I realized young kids will enjoy it very much. It is very imaginative and creative, but I was concerned some of it might get lost on young children. To be honest, it took me a while to warm up to this book.
