Perhaps the most beloved of all Japanese folk tales is the story of Momotaro, the boy born from a peach. Momotaro’s expedition to the Land of the Demons, accompanied by his faithful companions, the Dog, the Monkey, and the Pheasant, is filled with fun and excitement for all young readers.One of five of the best-loved stories from Kodansha’s Children’s Classics series, printed in a smaller format with the original Japanese beside the English translation – and all with the same delightful illustrations.
“Exquisite color and movement.”—Booklist“A feast for the eyes, and a great introduction to Japanese folk tales.” —The Daily Yomiuri“Simple yet absorbing tale. These strong, recommended children’s classics will please kids who love lively and unpredictable plots.” —Children’s Bookwatch“Brimming with the familiar and great themes of loyalty, courage and generosity.” —Asahi Evening News“Sumptuous illustrations” —School Library Journal“Would make an excellent gift for any child, in Japan and abroad.” —Tokyo Today
