What reviewers said
"Filled with now-familiar favorites, along with lesser known yet equally delightful tales, this enduring collection presents stories to enchant and enlighten young readers…This collection is greater than the sum of its parts…The text [is] simple, clear, and accessible to beginning readers and storytellers alike."
"Stories are a primary means for transmitting cultural values, information, philosophies, and worldviews. This beautiful and engaging Anniversary edition strengthens the cultural bridge between Japan and the English-speaking world for current and future generations."
"With these two books, Tuttle has been the leader in preserving the foundation of Japanese heritage and folklore for Western children of all ages."
