Ho-limlim: a Rabbit Tale from Japan by KeizaburÅ Tejima
2.0
Summary: After an aging rabbit repeatedly sees things not as they are and decides that staying home is better.
Review: I liked this well enough I suppose. I am not familiar with Japanese folk tales, and found the theme a little strange. The old rabbit seems to accept that the world is too confusing for him and it is better for him to stay home. I would agree with Mary Burns from Horn Book Magazine found it,"Valuable as it is for aesthetic considerations, this work would also dramatically enhance intercultural curricula." In Patricia Dooley's review she focuses mostly on the wood cut illustrations which she calls "stunningly good".
