This picture book is a lot of fun, with the expression of the "omanju" (sweet bun) being very enjoyable. The rounded corners are gentle on the hands, and it's a very popular book, with the 72nd printing. The text is mostly onomatopoeia, so children will be delighted depending on the reader's skill. Purchased new and read a few times. There's a faint stain visible in the third photo, but otherwise, I couldn't find any other dirt. It's in good condition, but please understand that it's a used item.
