Oyako nezumi no bōken (Tankobon Hardcover)

The world of talking animals and magical objects feels both charming and profound. I wonder what led Russell Hoban to craft this particular universe.

The story's journey about perseverance really hit me in the heart. I'm curious if others felt similarly or if I was just overly invested.

The characters' struggles to find their place seem timeless, but I wonder how modern readers, especially kids, interpret these messages.
