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.

It's all done with a commendable amount of taste, imagination, and style. -School Library Journal (starred review) A beautifully convincing tale. -The New York Times Book Review Using elements of traditional Japanese art, the illustrator has made marvelously imaginative pictures. -The Horn Book Lent's pictures are a lively blend of finely detailed, delicate drawings and rip-roaring good humor. -The Boston Globe A good read-aloud with lots of suspense. -Learning Awards: ALA Notable Children's Book Child Study Association Book of the Year The Horn Book FanfareProduct Identifiers
