The Guri and Gura series of illustrated children's books -- aimed at younger readers -- introduces two adorable field mice who fall into wonderful adventures and meet fascinating new friends. Incredibly popular in Japan, the eight books in the series are known for their emphasis on friendship and sharing. Now translated into English for the first time, and fully illustrated with watercolor drawings, these books are sure to capture kids' imaginations.
In Guri and Gura the two field mice go for a walk in the forest, where they find a giant egg in the middle of their path. The egg is too big to bring home, so they use it to bake a giant sponge cake right in the middle of the woods! The forest animals gather around the enticing aroma, and Guri and Gura share their freshly baked sponge cake with all. This story of resourcefulness, friendship, and sharing will delight young children -- and their parents.
