In this Caldecott Medal-winning tale set in Old Japan, a lively little woman who loves to laugh pursues her runaway dumpling and must outwit the wicked three-eyed
oni when she lands in their clutches.
The pictures are in perfect harmony with the humorous mood of the story. . . . It s all done with a commendable amount of taste, imagination, and style.
