1) Paperback Book The Funny Little Woman (Picture Puffins) by Puffin. My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves this book. She calls it the ´Te-he-he´ book. I´m sure it´s all about the laughing right now, but eventually she´ll get the good message of the story. I love the illustrations. She calls the woman ´bachan´ (grandma in Japanese).
And parents please note: ´Te-he-he´ is a lot easier to repeat over and over than the tonguetwister Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo (also a great book).
¤ 2) Paperback Book The Funny Little Woman (Picture Puffins) by Puffin. This was my all time favorite book as a child. It was ridiculously funny, cultural and of course had a hidden moral to the story I just couldnt get enough of it. As an adult I am actually going to buy this book again I´m glad to have found it on amazon!¤ 3) Paperback Book The Funny Little Woman (Picture Puffins) by Puffin. I ordered this to take to a baby shower requesting favorite books from childhood. This book includes wonderful illustrations and fun text. My favorite parts were when my mother would get to the parts where the Funny Little Woman laughed... "Tee Hee Hee."¤ 4) Paperback Book The Funny Little Woman (Picture Puffins) by Puffin. Here´s another I came across at the library for my daughter. I was delighted as I remembered it from youth. There are so few books that stick in your mind forever. That´s what makes them so endearing. And after all, kids are the Real critics. Do they remember or forget?
Both the story and illustrations are unforgettable. The pictures tell a story all their own. The colors are breathtaking with gorgeous jade, warm browns, dazzling yellows, bright orange and black accents. Anyone who loves monsters like in ´Where the Wild Ones Are´ will appreciate the "wicked" oni, who are called that, I think, just for added appeal as they are really just hungry, horned, three-eyed, long-haired monsters who want the Funny Little Woman to be their cook since, well, after all...she´s there. I think another aspect which makes this book so appealing is that the child can see above ground and underground at the same time; however, only the location that is taking place in any given time during the story is in color yet both are still intriguing. I remember as a child being fascinated with the old man in the story who never says a word but is a powerful presence in the story, nonetheless. He adds some mystery which is always a good thing in a story.
BOTTOM LINE: The funny little woman, no matter WHAT happens good or bad, ALWAYS laughs and makes the Best of the situation. This is a simple yet terrific take-home point of the story that ages 5-105 can appreciate. Books with an interesting story, fascinating, colorful illustrations AND have a lesson to learn are always welcome in our home. I´m so glad this book is still in print. It´s a timeless classic.
Soar!¤ 5) Paperback Book The Funny Little Woman (Picture Puffins) by Puffin. A little women makes dumplings, a dumpling rolls down a hill and that is how her adventure begins. I like this book becouse it has a little bit of seeing for your self. I think if you like adventures with a little bit of humor thrown in, you´ll love the funny little women.¤ 6) Paperback Book The Funny Little Woman (Picture Puffins) by Puffin. While chasing a dumpling, a little lady is captured by wicked creatures from whom she escapes with the means of becoming the richest woman in Japan.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
